The Effect of a Disrupted Circadian Rhythm on the Cognitive Function of Drosophila Fruit Flies Independent Science Research
Author(s): Akash Kulkarni*
This study investigates the impact of disrupted circadian rhythms on the cognitive function of Drosophila melanogaster. By exposing fruit flies to altered light-dark cycles, we assess changes in learning and memory through behavioral assays. The findings suggest that circadian disruptions negatively affect cognitive performance, highlighting the importance of biological rhythms in neural functioning. This research contributes to understanding how circadian irregularities may influence cognitive processes, with implications for broader biological and health contexts... View More»
