Drosophila core circadian clock neurons peptidergically regulate activity of insulin-producing cells

2026-03-23

Abstract excerpt

Central pacemaker neurons use a combination of external stimuli and neuropeptide signaling to synchronize molecular oscillations leading to circadian behaviors. The clock network structure and signaling between these pacemaker neuron groups have been well described, but how these pacemakers communicate with specific brain output regions remains poorly understood. Here, we identified how “core” clock neurons in Dr...
