Sexual behaviors are evoked by a wide variety of sensory cues and generated by specialized sensory neurons that sense mate-derived signals. In C. elegans, male sexual behaviors are driven by long- and short-range chemical and contact-based signals from a potential mate. We are interested in identifying the genes, molecules, and neural circuits that control sexually-dimorphic sensory behaviors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
