A Conserved SIFamide Circuit Functions as the Insect Vagus Nerve

Yanying Sun, Yanan Wei, Yutong Song, Wenjing Li, Kyle Wong, Jie Chen, Shun‐Fan Wu, Tianmu Zhang, Woo Jae Kim

The paper identifies the SIFamide circuit in Drosophila as the functional homolog of the mammalian vagus nerve, showing its role in integrating metabolic and reproductive signals.
