## Abstract Neuroethologists try to assign behavioral functions to certain brain centers, if possible down to individual neurons and to the expression of specific genes. This approach has been successfully applied for the control of circadian rhythmic behavior in the fruit fly __Drosophila melanoga
The courtship tracking behaviour of male D. melanogaster was filmed in a range of visual mutants and in wild type flies under white and infra-red light. The absence of visual input severely restricts the velocity at which the female may be tracked but does not remove the male's ability to discrimina
