Activation of 70A09-GAL4 brain neurons drastically reduces female speed. (a) Female mean speed calculated by rolling average for 15 s with Standard Error of the Mean represented. Genotypes: w-; otd-nls:FLPo/ + ; UAS > STOP > Chrimson.mVenus (Parental Control 1), w-; + ; 70A09-GAL4/ + (Parental Control 2) and w-; otd-nls:FLPo/ + ; 70A09-GAL4/UAS > STOP > Chrimson.mVenus (70A09 activation). (b) Difference in flies mean speed between (b) activation-baseline periods for all genotypes and (c) lightsOFF-baseline periods for 70A09 activation. (d) Copulation of activated and control females with the distribution according to latency to copulation. Number of receptive females out of the total number of females are shown in parenthesis. Statistical analysis was performed with Kruskal–Wallis test (b), followed by post hoc pairwise Dunn’s test with Bonferroni correction, Wilcoxon rank-sum test: ns = not significant, **p < 0.01. n values are shown in parentheses.
