This study shows that enhancing sleep restores memory in flies with damaged Mushroom Bodies, revealing a role for circadian rhythms in memory impairment.

This study shows that sleep deprivation, fragmentation, and social jet lag in Drosophila increase temperature preference, suggesting a link between sleep disruption and thermoregulation through specific clock neurons.

The paper shows that dFB neurons in Drosophila adjust their response properties based on environmental demands and prior metabolic challenges to regulate sleep drive.
