New PLOS Biology Paper: The role of the dorsal fan-shaped body in sleep regulation

News: March 26, 2025

We are happy to share that our most recent work, titled: " The dorsal fan-shaped body is a neurochemically heterogeneous sleep-regulating center in Drosophila," has been published in PLOS Biology. In this paper, we introduce the most dFB-specific, 23E10-based Split-GAL4 line to date, investigate the...
