Light entrainment of the circadian clock: the importance of the visual system for adjusting Drosophila melanogaster´s activity pattern
The change of day and night is one of the challenges all organisms are exposed to, as they have to adjust their physiology and behavior in an appropriate way. Therefore so called circadian clocks have evolved, which allow the organism to predict these cyclic changes of day and night. The underlying...
