This study investigates how social experience alters transcriptional and chromatin states in Drosophila brains through pheromone circuits and transcription factors.

The paper investigates the combinatorial expression of Beat and Side genes in Drosophila olfactory circuits and their role in synaptic specificity and development.

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.

The paper identifies molecular mechanisms by which social experience and pheromone signaling modulate neuromodulatory gene expression in Drosophila sensory neurons through RNA-seq analysis.
