Light activates output from evening neurons and inhibits output from morning neurons in the Drosophila circadian clock.

PLoS biology - 1 Nov 2007

Abstract excerpt

Animal circadian clocks are based on multiple oscillators whose interactions allow the daily control of complex behaviors. The Drosophila brain contains a circadian clock that controls rest-activity rhythms and relies upon different groups of PERIOD (PER)-expressing neurons. Two distinct oscillators have been functionally characterized under light-dark cycles. Lateral neurons (LNs) that express the...
