Controlling arms and legs requires feedback from position/movement sensors (proprioceptors). But how is feedback flexibly tuned to match behavior? In our new preprint, we reveal how the motor system tunes proprioceptive feedback in Drosophila 🧵 https://t.co/RDdBWEHXq2

New lab preprint on modulation of #Drosophila insulin producing cells (IPCs). How do single-cell transcriptomic analyses compare with Gal4-based expression mapping? Are IPCs really a homogenous population of 14 cells? 🧵 (1/n)

Insulin plays a critical role in maintaining metabolic homeostasis. Since metabolic demands change momentarily, insulin release needs to be constantly adjusted. These adjustments are mediated via...

Check out this new preprint on the Drosophila clock connectome by @zandawala and Helfrich-Förster labs from the department.
Let's try this again - look's like twitter can't handle the video 😂. Really excited to share the lab's first Drosophila paper and it's a big one. Check out our preprint https://t.co/Z1oI59uICG where we present the complete neural connectome of an animal circadian clock

Data suggest that the circadian clock aligns daily oscillations of transport lipids to the anabolic siesta phase, with a strong influence of light on phase and modality. Check out here open access: https://t.co/umoP3NDtXV

Our SFB1047 "Insect timing" offered a perfect umbrella to cooperate with the Pharmaceutical Biology in the Biocenter. Combined expertise allowed us to characterise the daily cycling of transport #lipids and their dependence on the #circadian clock in #Drosophila.

Helfrich-Förster lab on a roll. Check out this new paper by PhD student Giulia Manoli in collaboration with @zandawala and Yoshii labs on clock-related proteins and neuropeptides in Drosophila littoralis, a model for diapause.

We show that the circadian clock neurons of Drosophila littoralis, a highly photoperiodic species, exhibit important differences to those of Drosophila melanogaster in respect of neuropeptide...
