Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Current Biology"
DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2019.05.048
Abstract: REM sleep is a paradoxical state accompanied by suspended thermoregulation that is preferentially expressed under optimal ambient temperatures. Komagata and colleagues now demonstrate that activity in hypothalamic melanin concentrating hormone neurons is essential for the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1089/can.2021.0006
Abstract: In recent years, marketers of cannabis (i.e., marijuana) products have claimed that cannabinol (CBN) has unique sleep-promoting effects. Despite a plausible mechanism, it is possible that such claims are merely rooted in cannabis lore. The… read more here.

Disrupting flight increases sleep and identifies a novel sleep-promoting pathway in Drosophila
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Science Advances"
DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.aaz2166
Abstract: We have identified a novel sleep regulatory pathway. Sleep is plastic and is influenced by ecological factors and environmental changes. The mechanisms underlying sleep plasticity are not well understood. We show that manipulations that impair… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijms24119695
Abstract: Sleep disturbances, a debilitating symptom of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), are associated with neuropathological changes. However, the relationship between these disturbances and regional neuron and astrocyte pathologies remains unclear. This study examined whether sleep disturbances in… read more here.
