Silencing 70A09 brain neurons reduces female receptivity. (a) Schematic representation of the behavioural setup to test female receptivity16. Mating arena containing mating pairs is highlighted. (b) Copulation rate of silenced and control females with n values shown in parentheses. Statistical analysis was performed with Fisher’s exact test: ns = not significant; *p < 0.05, ****p < 0.0001. (c) Anterior and posterior views of female brain and VNC showing the expression pattern of 70A09-GAL4/otd-nls:FLPo intersecting neurons. Neurons were visualised with anti-GFP (green) and the tissue counterstained with the synaptic marker nc82 (magenta).
