Understanding the impact of sociosexual interactions on sleep using Drosophila melanogaster as a model organism
Sleep is conserved across species, and it is believed that a fixed amount of sleep is needed
for normal neurobiological functions. Sleep rebound follows sleep deprivation; however …

A two-process model of Drosophila sleep reveals an inter-dependence between circadian clock speed and the rate of sleep pressure decay
L Abhilash, OT Shafer - Sleep, 2024 - academic.oup.com
Sleep is controlled by two processes—a circadian clock that regulates its timing and a
homeostat that regulates the drive to sleep. Drosophila has been an insightful model for …

Sleep drive is encoded by neural plastic changes in a dedicated circuit
Prolonged wakefulness leads to an increased pressure for sleep, but how this homeostatic
drive is generated and subsequently persists is unclear. Here, from a neural circuit screen in …

Inputs to the sleep homeostat originate outside the brain
The need to sleep is sensed and discharged in a poorly understood process that is
homeostatically controlled over time. In flies, different contributions to this process have …
