Researchers from The Universities of Manchester and Birmingham have identified the exact nerve cells in the brain that drive important behavioral changes in female fruit flies after they mate. The discovery, published in the journal eLife, sheds light on how animals integrate sensory information to guide reproduction and has, say the researchers, general implications for understanding the brains' role in reproduction.
