A rhodopsin in the brain functions in circadian photoentrainment in Drosophila.

Nature - 18 May 2017

Ni Jinfei D, Baik Lisa S, Holmes Todd C, Montell Craig

Abstract excerpt

Animals partition their daily activity rhythms through their internal circadian clocks, which are synchronized by oscillating day-night cycles of light. The fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster senses day-night cycles in part through rhodopsin-dependent light reception in the compound eye and photoreceptor cells in the Hofbauer-Buchner eyelet. A more noteworthy light entrainment pathway is mediated by central...
