Insulin-producing cells regulate the sexual receptivity through the painless TRP channel in Drosophila virgin females.
In a variety of animal species, females hold a leading position in evaluating potential mating partners. The decision of virgin females to accept or reject a courting male is one of the most critical steps for mating success. In the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster, however, the molecular and neuron...
