Flies in the north: locomotor behavior and clock neuron organization of Drosophila montana.

abstract：:Hibernating animals have been a successful model system for elucidating fundamental properties of many physiological systems. Over the past 50 years, a diverse literature has emerged on the role of the circadian system in control and expression of winter torpor in several orders of birds and mammals. This body of rese...
