Different lab, different continent, different species — same curiosity 🇯🇵 The extensive PDH-ir arborization pattern of a male Sieboldius albardae dragonfly 🐉🪰. The projections are color coded from anterior (blue) to posterior (yellow). Drosophila brain for scale. #FluorescenceFriday Detail images 👇
This fluorescence microscopy image shows the PDH-ir neuronal network in the male dragonfly Sieboldius albardae. The image reveals an impressive, dense arborization pattern in the lamina, medulla, lobula complex, and protocerebrum. The projections are depth-coded from anterior (blue) to posterior (yellow). A Drosophila brain is shown for scale. Sieboldius albardae has about 100 times larger brain than Drosophila.

🔎S. albardae exhibits dense innervation of the three ocelli (A). The wide arborizations that span the brain appear to originate from just ~11 cells per hemisphere near the accessory medulla (aMe) (B). Long processes extend from the aMe along the medulla surface to the lamina (C). #FluorescenceFriday

Non-Visual Light Perception: Ancient photoreceptor shapes behavioural responses
Experiments on Drosophila show that an evolutionarily conserved photoreceptor that senses light outside of the retina can regulate responses to direct visual cues.

A tiny neural network is sufficient to control the daily rhythm of the fruit fly: New paper out in @pnas.org s.org by @nils-reinhard.bsky.social and @flyingclocks.bsky.social ingclocks.bsky.social. Only four specialized nerve cells drive the animals' endogenous clock. go.uniwue.de/circadianclock
The clock network of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster (gray). The clock neurons of the core clock, which form the minimal circuit of the internal clock, are highlighted in color. The four dorsal clock neurons examined in the study are marked in magenta, while the remaining neurons of the core clock are marked in blue. (Photo: Nils Reinhard)

The female menstrual cycle was probably originally synchronized with the lunar cycle. This has changed significantly due to artificial light and smartphones, as a new study now published in the Journal Science Advances shows. go.uniwue.de/moon

New paper out in @elife.bsky.social! Antarctic krill use their clock to control daily rhythms of swimming activity across a wide range of photoperiods, which helps them adapt to their high-latitude habitat🌊🦐🕖☀️ Great collaboration between @uni-wuerzburg.de, @awi.de, @hifmb.de! doi.org/10.7554/eLif...

A circadian clock drives behavioral activity in Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) and provides a potential mechanism for seasonal timing
Behavioral experiments provide strong evidence that krill swimming behavior is controlled by biological clocks throughout the year, revealing a key mechanism for adaptation to high-latitude habitats.
