Adult Clock Neuron Somatic Neuropeptide Release and Cytonemes Regulate Sleep

2026-07-30

Abstract excerpt

Drosophila s-LNv clock neurons promote nighttime sleep by releasing the neuropeptide sNPF to activate sNPF receptors (sNPF-Rs) on l-LNv clock neurons. Behavior is controlled by synaptic transmission, but s-LNv and l-LNv neurons are not connected directly by chemical synapses. To investigate the basis of sNPF/sNPF-R communication between LNv neurons, the spread of sNPF was imaged in the adult brain. We report the d...
