Abstract

Sexual Behavior, Animal

Drosophila melanogaster - physiology

Species Specificity

Memory

Male

Acetylcholine - metabolism

Circadian Rhythm

Drosophila - physiology

Nervous System - anatomy & histology

Smell

Learning

Hearing

Animals

Nervous System Physiological Phenomena

Female

Heterozygote

Drosophila - genetics

Visual Perception

Mutation

Higher behavior in lower organisms seems an ideal candidate for genetic analysis. At first glance, this is because fixed action patterns such as courtship rituals seem almost certain to be programmed by the action of genes that control the development and function of their nervous systems.
