Molecular and circuit mechanisms mediating circadian clock output in the Drosophila brain
Molecular and brain circuit processes controlling the daily biological clock in fruit flies
AI simplified
Abstract
Approximately 150 clock neurons in the Drosophila brain are involved in regulating circadian rhythms.
- The review explores how time-of-day signals are transmitted within the clock network and beyond.
- It highlights the mechanisms that connect the molecular clock to behavioral rhythms.
- Functional multisynaptic circuits have been identified between clock neurons and output neurons.
- These circuits are implicated in the regulation of locomotor activity in Drosophila.
