Drosophila neuropeptide F (NPF), a homolog of vertebrate neuropeptide Y, functions in
feeding and coordination of behavioral changes in larvae and in modulation of alcohol …

Animals display stereotyped behavioral modifications during development, but little is known
about how genes and neural circuits are regulated to turn on/off behaviors. Here we report …

Different subsets of Drosophila melanogaster's clock neurons are characterized by their
specific functions in daily locomotor rhythms and the differences in their neurotransmitter …

Neuropeptides regulate a wide range of animal behavior including food consumption,
circadian rhythms, and anxiety. Recently, Drosophila neuropeptide F, which is the homolog …

Male courtship is provoked by perception of a potential mate. In addition, the likelihood and
intensity of courtship are influenced by recent mating experience, which affects sexual drive …

A cDNA clone encoding a seven‐transmembrane domain, G‐protein‐coupled receptor
(NPFR76F, also called GPCR60), has been isolated from Drosophila melanogaster …

Circadian rhythms in behaviour and physiology exist widely in animals, plants, fungi and
cyanobacteria. Although much work has been carried out to characterize the endogenous …

In their classic experiments, Olds and Milner showed that rats learn to lever press to receive
an electric stimulus in specific brain regions. This led to the identification of mammalian …

Although Neuropeptide F (NPF) has been identified in different insect species, its function
has mainly been studied in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, where it regulates diverse …

About 150 clock neurons are clustered in different groups in the brain of Drosophila. Among
these clock neurons, some pigment‐dispersing factor (PDF)‐positive and PDF‐negative …
