Dissection of neural circuitry underlying behaviors is a central theme in neurobiology. We
have previously proposed the concept of chemoconnectome (CCT) to cover the entire …

The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster exhibits two activity peaks, one in the morning and
another in the evening. Because the two peaks change phase depending on the …

Deciphering the connectome, the ensemble of synaptic connections that underlie brain
function, is a central goal of neuroscience research. The trans-Tango genetic approach …

Animals possess a circadian central clock in the brain, where circadian behavioural rhythms
are generated. In the fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster), the central clock comprises a …

Many predatory animals, such as the praying mantis, use vision for prey detection and
capture. Mantises are known in particular for their capability to estimate distances to prey by …

Despite the fact that sleep deprivation substantially affects the way animals regulate their
body temperature, the specific mechanisms behind this phenomenon are not well …

The relationship between sleep and memory is an active topic of investigation. In this
context, we demonstrate that enhancing sleep restores memory to flies with ablated …

Dissection of neural circuitry underlying behaviors is a central theme in neurobiology. We
have previously proposed the concept of chemoconnectome (CCT) to cover the entire …

Knowing how neural circuits change with neuronal plasticity and differ between individuals
is important to fully understand behavior. Connectomes are typically assembled using …

Alcohol consumption is known to disturb a variety of biological processes that affect normal
physiological function. In the nervous system, alcohol is generally known to affect several …
