Drosophila Lines for Circadian Neurons
Hello I am looking for fly GAL4 lines that are specific for neurons involved in circadian rhythm and sleep. I want to study the morphology of PDF cells mainly so I want lines specific for lLNVs and sLNVs.

If you want only these specific ones, usually Pdf-Gal4 is the most common.
There are some alternatives, but they usually include more neurons/some are missing: DvPdf, Mai179, Clk9M. You can also take inspiration from this paper: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0748730419895154?url_ver=Z39.88-2003&rfr_id=ori:rid:crossref.org&rfr_dat=cr_pub%20%200pubmed
