Abstract excerpt
In the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster, circadian rhythms of locomotor activity under constant darkness are controlled by pacemaker neurons. To understand how behavioral rhythmicity is generated by the nervous system, it is essential to identify the output circuits from the pacemaker neurons. A recent study of Drosophila has suggested that pacemaker neurons project to mushroom body (MB) neurons, which are...
