This brain region is responsible for regulating and ... first complete map of the circadian clock in the brain of the fly Drosophila. Dr. Meet Zandawala, Group Leader, and Nils Reinhard, Ph.D ...

Fruit flies with genetic mutations that severely reduce sleep show enhanced performance in olfactory memory tasks, challenging assumptions about sleep’s role in cognition.

For example, when expressed in the Drosophila brain, Tau protein—which forms neurofibrillary ... but instead highlight broad genomic regions. In a pilot study, we used the Tau transgenic flies for ...

a response that could be tracked to differences in brain wiring in a region of the fly brain that helps compute the valence (inherent attractiveness or aversiveness) of sensory cues. The ...
