The paper identifies three distinct circadian phases in Drosophila pacemaker networks and shows how they drive rhythmic activity in downstream neurons.

This study investigates how PDF receptor signaling is terminated in Drosophila, showing that phosphorylation sites in its C-terminal tail regulate behavioral rhythms and that specific mutations alter these rhythms in a day-length-dependent manner.

The paper shows that circadian pacemaker neurons in Drosophila exhibit co-phasic rhythms in basal calcium levels and fast calcium fluctuations, driven by IP3R and T-type channels respectively.

The paper identifies a circadian pathway in Drosophila where morning and evening oscillators drive pre-motor centers via specific dopaminergic neurons, resulting in a two-peak locomotor activity pattern.
