Synaptic connectome of a neurosecretory network in the Drosophila brain

The paper characterizes the synaptic connectome of neurosecretory cells in Drosophila, revealing their regulatory roles in physiology and behavior through input and output pathways.

Localization of candidate clock neurons in Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba)

This study identifies and localizes circadian clock neurons in Antarctic krill using immunostaining and in situ hybridization, revealing PDH-positive neuron clusters and core clock gene expression.

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.

RHODOPSIN 7: An ancestral non-canonical photoreceptor shaping light-responsive behavior

The paper identifies RHODOPSIN 7 as a non-canonical light sensor in Drosophila that influences behavior and shows its evolutionary origins across panarthropods.

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.

PDF neuropeptide signals independently of Bruchpilot-labelled active zones in daily remodelled terminals of Drosophila clock neurons

The paper investigates the relationship between PDF release and BRP-labelled active zones in Drosophila clock neurons, finding that PDF release is independent of BRP-organised active zones during circadian plasticity.

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.
