• Mushroom body output neurons encode valence and guide memory-based action selection in Drosophila (2014, background): “…defined as sustained periods of inactivity (5 min or more) that coincide with increased sensory thresholds, altered brain activity and stereotyped body posture (Hendricks et al., 2000; Shaw et al., 2000; Hendricks and Sehgal, 2004; Ganguly-Fitzgerald et al., 2006; Parisky et al., 2008; Figure 7.”
• Physiological significance of a peripheral tissue circadian clock (2008, background): “The presence of circadian rest–activity cycles in animals from insects to mammals (36) suggests that daily rhythmic organization of behavior has provided a strong selective advantage, but the resultant daily rhythms of food ingestion and energy expenditure likely result in major challenges for syste”
• Drosophila strategies to study psychiatric disorders. (2013, background): “Sleep in Drosophila was only described relatively recently compared to circadian rhythms, about a decade ago [74,147].”
