Abstract
Understanding how a largely shared genome specifies distinct male and female behaviors is a central challenge in biology. Two recent papers show how sex-specific apoptosis interacts with neuron birth order in the Drosophila brain to sculpt male- and female-specific neural circuits from shared developmental templates.
