Different lab, different continent, different species — same curiosity 🇯🇵 The extensive PDH-ir arborization pattern of a male Sieboldius albardae dragonfly 🐉🪰. The projections are color coded from anterior (blue) to posterior (yellow). Drosophila brain for scale. #FluorescenceFriday Detail images 👇

This fluorescence microscopy image shows the PDH-ir neuronal network in the male dragonfly Sieboldius albardae. The image reveals an impressive, dense arborization pattern in the lamina, medulla, lobula complex, and protocerebrum. The projections are depth-coded from anterior (blue) to posterior (yellow). A Drosophila brain is shown for scale. Sieboldius albardae has about 100 times larger brain than Drosophila.

Biologist Angelica Coculla is researching the internal circadian clock of fruit flies. A recent paper published in the journal Science shows that the insects can reset their internal clock through their behaviour. With the molecular rhythm, the sleep-wake cycle returned. #Biology

A switch for the right rhythm

Biologist Angelica Coculla is researching the internal circadian clock of fruit flies. Her latest studies show that the insects are able to reset their internal clock. As the molecular clock resets, t...
