Neuronal-specific knockdown of pfs decreased aggressiveness. Pfs was knocked down in flies carrying a pan-neuronal-specific driver nSyb-Gal4 and a UAS-pfs-RNAi transgene. Two independent UAS-pfs-RNAi transgenes pfsGL01549 and pfs7858R1 were used in the experiments. a Number of lunges. b Number of wing threats. Behaviours of a pair of male flies for 15-min period were examined. Pairs of flies tested: nSyb-Gal4/+, n = 25; pfsGL01549/+, n = 22; nSyb-Gal4/ pfsGL01549, n = 23; pfs7858R1/+, n = 28; nSyb-Gal4/+; pfs7858R1/+, n = 20. Kruskal-Wallis and post hoc Mann-Whitney U tests, **P < 0.01. ***P < 0.001. Error bars represent SEM
