eLife assessment This study presents valuable findings as it shows that sleep rhythm formation and memory capabilities depend on a balanced and rich diet in fly larvae. The evidence supporting the claims of the authors is convincing with rigorous behavioral assays and state-of-the-art genetic manipulations. The work will be of interest to researchers working on sleep and memory.
Abstract Sleep and feeding patterns lack a clear daily rhythm during early life. As diurnal animals mature, feeding is consolidated to the day and sleep to the night. Circadian sleep patterns begin with formation of a circuit connecting the central clock to arousal output neurons; emergence of circadian sleep also enables long-term memory (LTM). However, the cues that trigger the development of this clock-arousal circuit are unknown.
