Although long-term memory consolidation is supported by sleep, it is unclear how it differs
from that during wakefulness. Our review, focusing on recent advances in the field, identifies …

The Drosophila brain contains a relatively simple circuit for forming Pavlovian associations,
yet it achieves many operations common across memory systems. Recent advances have …

Flexible behaviors over long timescales are thought to engage recurrent neural networks in
deep brain regions, which are experimentally challenging to study. In insects, recurrent …

Making inferences about the computations performed by neuronal circuits from synapse-
level connectivity maps is an emerging opportunity in neuroscience. The mushroom body …

The needs fulfilled by sleep are unknown, though the effects of insufficient sleep are
manifold. To better understand how the need to sleep is sensed and discharged, much effort …

Sleep is a complex and plastic behavior regulated by multiple brain regions and influenced
by numerous internal and external stimuli. Thus, to fully uncover the function (s) of sleep …

The dynamic nature of sleep in many animals suggests distinct stages that serve different
functions. Genetic sleep induction methods in animal models provide a powerful way to …

In adulthood, sleep-wake rhythms are one of the most prominent behaviors under circadian
control. However, during early life, sleep is spread across the 24-hour day. The mechanism …

Taste detection and hunger state dynamically regulate the decision to initiate feeding. To
study how context-appropriate feeding decisions are generated, we combined synaptic …

Animals retain some but not all experiences in long-term memory (LTM). Sleep supports
LTM retention across animal species. It is well established that learning experiences …
