Female-specific myoinhibitory peptide neurons regulate mating receptivity in Drosophila melanogaster
After mating, female flies are not receptive to re-mating with a new male fly, a response triggered by a male seminal protein called sex peptide. Here, the authors work out the downstream circuits and neurons that are important for post-mating receptivity in female flies.
