NEURAL MECHANISMS, EVOLUTION, GENETICS AND BEHAVIOUR IN CERTAIN DIPTERA.

Abstract

The courtship behaviour of Drosophila funebris is described. A map showing the main regions of the brain of this fly is given and the electrophysiological method used to investigate the nervous control of the behaviour of this species is described. The way is which this method will be used in future experiments to study the effects of genetic changes in the nervous system is outlined. (Author)
