Neuropeptide-dependent spike time precision and plasticity in circadian output neurons

Bryan Chong, Vipin Kumar, Dieu Linh Nguyen, Makenzie A Hopkins, Faith S Ferry, Lucia K Spera, Elizabeth M. Paul, Anelise N Hutson, Masashi Tabuchi

This study investigates how neuropeptides Dh31 and Dh44 modulate spike time precision and plasticity in Drosophila circadian output neurons, revealing their role in circadian clock neural coding for sleep.
