Detailed experimental setup for analyzing larval sleep.

(A) Schematic flow of automated larval sleep quantification. A second instar larva was placed in each of 24 wells, and all 24 wells were videotaped from above. For each well and frame, the image of the larva was blurred and binarized to automatically locate the larva. Consecutive frames were then compared so that changes in pixel values were summed to estimate larval motion. This motion estimate was then used to classify every consecutive pair of frames as representing ‘active’ or ‘inactive’. We found that inactivity across 12 consecutive frames meets the sleep criteria, as shown in Figure 1—figure supplement 2. (B) Schematic representation of the 24-well chamber used for larval sleep assays. (C) Flow of automated processes of larval motion detection and active/inactive state determination. For each well and frame, the image of the larva was blurred and binarized. Consecutive frames were then compared so that changes in pixel values were summed to estimate larval motion. This motion estimate was then used to classify every consecutive pair of frames as representing ‘active’ or ‘inactive’.

The number of larvae tested was 21 and 21 for the control and experimental groups, respectively. **p < 0.01, NS: p ≥ 0.05 (Mann–Whitney U-test with Bonferroni correction). (D) Percentage of larvae that showed a response in the next 1 or 12 frames after blue light stimulation.

A schematic model of the Hugin/PK2-R1/Dilps axis in larval and adult sleep.

Schematic summary comparing larvae and adults. In larvae, bath application of Hugin peptides activates insulin-producing cells (IPCs), and both Hugin signaling (HugPC neurons/Hugin peptides) and IPC output (including Dilp3) act to suppress larval sleep. In adults, Hugin peptides do not activate IPCs (dashed arrow), whereas IPC/Dilp3 signaling promotes adult sleep.

Author response image 1
mCD8::mCherry (top) and CRTC::GFP (bottom) are shown under high-temperature conditions without ("−") or with ("+") hugin neuron activation.

"-" denotes a high-temperature genetic control lacking LexAop-TrpA1, thus no thermogenetic activation occurs. CRTC::GFP is shown in pseudocolor.
