Developmental neuroscience: Building sex-specific adult circuitry from common larval origins

Curr Biol. 2024 Apr 8;34(7):R288-R291. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2024.02.064.ABSTRACTThe development of sex-specific neural circuitry is critical for reproductive behaviors. A new study traces the developmental origin of female-specific neurons that underlie an adult mating behavior to larval neurons common to both sexes in Drosophila.PMID:38593775 | DOI:10.1016/j.cub.2024.02.064
