Barry J. Dickson's Opinions

Agree
All animals exhibit innate behaviors that are specified during their development. ... We show that male splicing is essential for male courtship behavior and sexual orientation. More importantly, [it] is also sufficient to generate male behavior in otherwise normal females. These females direct their courtship toward other females (or males engineered to produce female pheromones). The splicing of a single neuronal gene thus specifies essentially all aspects of a complex innate behavior.
