THERM-D Uncovers Distinct Neural Mechanisms Separating Morning and Evening Body Temperature Rhythms in Drosophila

The paper introduces THERM-D, a machine learning tool to analyze body temperature rhythms in Drosophila, revealing that CRY-negative clock neurons regulate morning temperature rise independently of evening rhythms.

Octopamine signaling from clock neurons plays dual roles in Drosophila long-term memory

This paper identifies that octopamine signaling from specific Drosophila clock neurons regulates distinct phases of long-term memory.

Ion transport peptide regulates body water balance via a receptor guanylyl cyclase in the Drosophila hindgut

This study identifies saITP and Gyc76C as key regulators of water balance in Drosophila hindgut via a neuroendocrine axis.

Synaptic connectome of the Drosophila circadian clock

The paper maps the synaptic connectome of the Drosophila circadian clock, revealing additional neurons, contralateral connectivity, and novel peptidergic signaling.

Dopamine signaling in wake promoting clock neurons is not required for the normal regulation of sleep in Drosophila

This study investigates dopamine signaling in Drosophila clock neurons and finds it does not regulate daytime sleep but promotes nighttime sleep via s-LNvs.
