  • The study focuses on understanding the circadian clock's role in regulating daily biological processes by creating a detailed connectivity map of the Drosophila (fruit fly) brain.
  • Researchers found that the Drosophila circadian network has around 240 neurons, more than previously thought, and discovered new pathways for light input to these clock neurons.
  • They also investigated how the clock influences behaviors like feeding and reproduction through both direct and indirect connections, highlighting the importance of peptidergic signaling among clock neurons in enhancing network interconnectivity.
