Mutual coupling of neurons in the circadian master clock: What we can learn from fruit flies by Charlotte Helfrich-Förster, Nils Reinhard

“…In most animals, these master clocks are distributed bilaterally, located in close proximity to the visual system, and synchronized by the eyes with the light-dark cycles of the environment. In mammals and cockroaches, each of the two master clocks consists of a core region that receives information from the eyes and a shell region from which most of the output projections originate, whereas in flies and several other insects, the master clocks are distributed in lateral and dorsal brain regions. …”
