The HisCl1 histamine receptor acts in photoreceptors to synchronize Drosophila behavioral rhythms with light-dark cycles

The role of the HisCl1 histamine receptor in the Drosophila visual system remains unclear. This study shows that HisCl1 is expressed in Rh6-photoreceptors where its function is sufficient for circadian entrainment by incorporating synaptic inputs from other photoreceptors.
