| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In Drosophila, a male primarily relies on vision to chase and follow his potential mate. The role of vision in courtship following is well studied at the behavior level, yet its underlying neural circuit mechanism is unclear. In this study, by means of behavior screening that takes advantage of optogenetics, treadmill-based quantitative locomotion recording and in vivo calcium imaging, we identified a novel visual interneuron subset that mediates vision-dependent locomotion turn during courtship following. Our result contributes to understanding of the releasing mechanism of courtship behavior and visual target following in the fly brain.
