Article Synopsis
- 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.
Intracellular trafficking involves an intricate machinery of motor complexes including the dynein complex to shuttle cargo for autophagolysosomal degradation. Deficiency in dynein axonemal chains as well as cytoplasmic light and intermediate chains have been linked with ciliary dyskinesia and skeletal dysplasia. The cytoplasmic dynein 1 heavy chain protein (DYNC1H1) serves as a core complex for retrograde trafficking in neuronal axons.

However, it is unclear whether low glycemic index (GI) CHO leads to differential ergogenic and metabolic effects compared with a standard high GI CHO. This study investigated the ergogenic and metabolic effects of CHO supplementation with distinct GIs, namely, (a) trehalose (30 g/hr), (b) isomaltulose (30 g/hr), (c) maltodextrin (60 g/hr), and (d) placebo (water).

African is known to have made compound adhesives from naturally sticky substances and ochre, a technical behavior proposed to mark the advent of elaborate cognitive processes in our species. Foragers of the European Middle Paleolithic also used glues, but evidence of ochre-based compound adhesives is unknown.
