A collaboration with the Hattar Lab, this paper combines Michelle Ren’s beautiful MS thesis work from the Schmidt/Turek labs with Alan Rupp’s beautiful PhD work from the Hattar lab. We find that distinct circuits are responsible for light’s acute versus circadian effects on sleep and body temperature. Link: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/early/2018/12/13/496323
