The paper identifies sex-specific gene expression and synaptic connections in Drosophila circadian neurons, revealing molecular mechanisms underlying sexual dimorphism in circadian behavior.

The paper identifies heterogeneous clock and dopaminergic cell types in Drosophila using single-cell sequencing and shows connectivity molecules best characterize these neuron groups.

The paper identifies dopamine and GPCR-mediated modulation in Drosophila clock neurons that regulate sleep timing.
