In a study in this issue, Clyne and Miesenböck (2008) apply an ingenious optogenetic technology to activate neurons that generate male-specific courtship song in flies. This work sheds new light on the neural circuitry underlying sexually dimorphic behaviors in Drosophila.
在本期的一项研究中,克莱恩和米森博克(2008年)应用了一种巧妙的光遗传学技术来激活果蝇中产生雄性特异性求偶歌声的神经元。这项工作为果蝇性别二态性行为背后的神经回路提供了新的线索。
