Extended Data Fig. 4: vpoDNs are sensitive to courtship song and are postsynaptic to auditory neurons.

From: Neural circuit mechanisms of sexual receptivity in Drosophila females

Extended Data Fig. 4

a, Frequency of male courtship behaviours around the onset of female VPO. n = 124 VPOs from 12 pairs of flies. b, GCaMP6s signal changes in vpoDNs of virgins with intact aristae in response to courtship song and white noise. Lines connect data points from the same fly. Error bars show mean ± s.e.m. P values in italics, paired two-sided Wilcoxon test. See also Supplementary Table 3. c, Neurons presynaptic to a single vpoDN in the FAFB EM volume, showing the number of input synapses identified (thresholded at 10).
