Dr. Levine's group are investigating the hypothesis that circadian clocks help the fly anticipate and coordinate social interactions, acting as a physiological ‘appointment calendar'. Many of the genes and cells that define circadian clocks are known and their findings suggest that biological clocks within the brain and other tissues regulate social interactions.
