| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Many animals possess the central circadian clock system in brain, which controls activity rhythms. However, their detailed neuronal circuits are still not well understood even in the most advanced model animal, fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. In this study, we identified circadian clock neurons that are responsive to environmental changes and a new neurotransmitter CCHamide1 involved in the circadian network. Furthermore, we could contribute to understand the morphological and physiological connections among circadian clock neurons.
