Social experience alters behaviors by reprogramming the Fruitless pathway and circadian state in Drosophila

Chengcheng Du, Sumie Okuwa, Lanling Jia, Marta Rozados Barreiro, Shayna Scott, Jesús Emiliano Sotelo Fonseca, Yuta Mabuchi, Shania Appadoo, Luis Garcia, Stephanie Rohrbach, Sare Koruk, Efe Balkanli, Josh Lin, Nilay Yapici, Corbin D. Jones, Pelin Volkan

The paper shows that group housing in Drosophila suppresses courtship by altering the Fruitless pathway and circadian state, with specific effects on gene expression and behavior.
