Circadian clocks are biochemical time-keeping machines that synchronize animal behavior
and physiology with planetary rhythms. In Drosophila, the core components of the clock …

Organisms adapt to unfavorable seasonal conditions to survive. These seasonal
adaptations rely on the correct interpretation of environmental cues such as photoperiod …

The circadian clock orchestrates daily changes in physiology and behavior to ensure
internal temporal order and optimal timing across the day. In animals, a central brain clock …

Drosophila's lateral posterior neurons (LPNs) belong to a small group of circadian clock
neurons that is so far not characterized in detail. Thanks to a new highly specific split‐Gal4 …

Behavioral responsiveness to external stimulation is shaped by context. We studied how
sensory information can be contextualized, by examining light-evoked locomotor …

Animals exhibit rhythmic patterns of behavior that are shaped by an internal circadian clock
and the external environment. Although light intensity varies across the day, there are …

Virtually every single living organism on Earth shows a circadian (ie “approximately a day”)
internal rhythm that is coordinated with planet rotation (ie 24 hours). External cues …

The relatively simple Drosophila circadian clock circuit consists of 150 clock neurons that
coordinate rhythmic behavior and physiology, which are generally classified based on …

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 …

Many organisms, including cosmopolitan drosophilids, show circadian plasticity, varying
their activity with changing dawn–dusk intervals. How this behaviour evolves is unclear …
