Alcohol has a strong causal relationship with sexual arousal and disinhibited sexual behavior in humans; however, the physiological support for this notion is largely lacking and thus a suitable animal model to address this issue is instrumental. We investigated the effect of ethanol on sexual behavior in Drosophila. Wild-type males typically court females but not males; however, upon daily adm...

The purpose of the present work was to elaborate a method of investigation of the instrumental CRs with sexual reinforcement. The examination of such reflexes in various experimental situations gives more precise information about sexual drive levels than simple observation of sexual behavior. Moreover, this is the only way for obtaining exact data concerning the changes in the drive level in f...
