Curr Opin Insect Sci
. 2024 Oct;
67:101293.
PMID: 39471909
Sexually dimorphic behaviors are fundamental to the biology of many species, including fruit flies and humans. These behaviors are regulated primarily by sex-specific neural circuits or sex-specific modulation of shared...

. 2024 Aug;
65:101252.
PMID: 39142627
Crustaceans played a major role in establishing that gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) functioned as an inhibitory transmitter compound. In fact, it is now widely accepted that GABA is the major inhibitory...

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2022 Jan;
119(5).
PMID: 35082150
Aggression is known to be regulated by pheromonal information in many species. But how central brain neurons processing this information modulate aggression is poorly understood. Using the fruit fly model...

J Exp Biol
. 2021 Feb;
224(Pt 6).
PMID: 33568440
Many animal species show aggression to gain mating partners and to protect territories and other resources from competitors. Both male and female fruit flies of the species exhibit aggression in...

. 2019 Aug;
116(34):17029-17038.
PMID: 31391301
In the model of aggression, males and females fight in same-sex pairings, but a wide disparity exists in the levels of aggression displayed by the 2 sexes. A screen of...

Curr Biol
. 2019 Jun;
29(13):2145-2156.e5.
PMID: 31231050
Pathological aggression is commonly associated with psychiatric and neurological disorders and can impose a substantial burden and cost on human society. Serotonin (5HT) has long been implicated in the regulation...

Fly (Austin)
. 2016 Nov;
11(2):129-138.
PMID: 27834611
In competition for food, territory and mates, male fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) engage in agonistic encounters with conspecifics. The fighting strategies used to obtain these resources are influenced by previous...

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2016 Apr;
113(17):4818-23.
PMID: 27071097
In many animal species, learning and memory have been found to play important roles in regulating intra- and interspecific behavioral interactions in varying environments. In such contexts, aggression is commonly...

. 2016 Jan;
(106):e53395.
PMID: 26780386
Aggressive behavior in Drosophila melanogaster is composed of the sequential expression of stereotypical behavioral patterns (for analysis see (1)). This complex behavior is influenced by genetic, hormonal and environmental factors....
