Sex food & Drosophila. Mating increases hormone levels in ♀️ flies, changing the activity of myosuppressin neurons (movie) innervating "stomach" muscles. It explains higher food consumption & increased fecundity in Mated ♀️ @FlyGutLab @EnergyMemoryLab disq.us/t/3sjefbd

Yesterday we made the decision to take away computers and iPads from our kids until Christmas because we (and teachers) felt that we are living with zombies. I am just amazed that within 24 hours I have my children back... they play, they talk, they interact, they read.
