摘要
In adult blow flies (Calliphora vicina), unilateral or bilateral cuts between the optic lobes and the brain, or complete bilateral lobectomy, failed to interrupt the circadian rhythm of locomotor activity or its entrainment to a daily light:dark cycle. It is concluded that the relevant circadian pacemakers are not within the optic lobes and that the compound eyes are not the photoreceptors for entrainment. As in other holometabolous insects, the pacemakers (the ''clock'') and the photoreceptors may lie in the brain.
