Cryptochrome and the visual system define four combinations of light inputs to the clock neurons in the Drosophila larval brain

Light inputs Neuronal group
PDF+ LN 5th LN DN1 DN2
CRY +a b + via PDF
Visual system + + via PDF via PDF

a+ indicates that these neurons can sense light via the corresponding input pathway without any intermediate neuronal connection.

bThis neuron can also perceive light indirectly via CRY+ neurons, in a PDF-independent fashion.
