Light modulates Drosophila lifespan via perceptual systems independent of circadian rhythms
Figure 8. Lifespan is independent of the number of subjective days lived. (A) Relationship between chronological time and perceived days for short-, normal-, and long-day flies. (B) Free running period had minimal effect on lifespan. Animals were aged under free running conditions and a comparison across genotypes was made (short period n = 237, long period n = 252, Gal4 control n = 245; P = 0.022).
