Circadian surprise: Mechanism of temperature synchronisation in Drosophila

New research reveals a pathway that links peripheral sensory tissues with a 'clock' in the brain to regulate molecular processes and behaviours in response to cyclical temperature changes. The research, published by Cell Press in the October 29th issue of the journal Neuron, reveals some surprising fundamental differences between how light-dark and temperature cycles synchronise the brain clock of the fruit fly, Drosophila...
