The role of PDF neurons in setting the preferred temperature before dawn in Drosophila

The role of PDF neurons in setting the preferred temperature before dawn in Drosophila

Animals have sophisticated homeostatic controls. While mammalian body temperature fluctuates throughout the day, small ectotherms, such as Drosophila achieve a body temperature rhythm (BTR) through their preference of environmental temperature. Here, we demonstrate that pigment dispersing factor (PD...
