Blog Post Image: Vibrations influence the circadian clock of a fruit fly

The image shows an alarm clock, symbolizing the circadian clock. The pointers of the clock are formed by scolopidia, i.e. those mechanosensory units that provide information to the fly’s circadian clock. The red pointer shows the mean circadian time after flies were vibrated. The other pointer is grey and depicts the circadian time without vibration. Image credit: Faxen/Albert, UCL
