We began our studies of Drosophila circadian rhythms almost 30 years ago, as a collaboration between my lab and that of my friend and Brandeis colleague Jeff Hall. Our more short-term goal at that ...

In the 1980s, important strides were made in identifying genes that controlled the circadian rhythm in Drosophila. The field went through rapid progress in the 1990s, and by the end of the decade ...

Many species, such as certain flies, adjust their circadian rhythm (daily activity cycle ... the importance of the Pdf neuropeptide in Drosophila species living at higher latitudes, exhibiting ...

We use video and automated monitoring systems to assess locomotion, circadian rhythms, sleep and courtship. The ability to manipulate the activity and biochemistry of particular neurons with exquisite ...

Many species, such as certain flies, adjust their circadian rhythm (daily activity cycle ... compared two species of Drosophila to examine differences in behavioral flexibility.
