Grant Activity:
Bridging the gap between electrical and molecular sleep functions in the brain
Purpose:
Sleep helps keep our brains healthy. This is believed to involve cells in the brain called glia, which optimise the communication between neurons during deep sleep. It is unknown how glial cells ‘know’ how much optimisation is needed throughout the brain. We have discovered similar sleep mechanisms in the tiny fruit fly brain, and will use its powerful genetic resources and whole-brain imaging technology to understand how this newly discovered glial sleep function works.
