Acute control of the sleep switch in Drosophila reveals a role for gap junctions in regulating behavioral responsiveness
Sleep is a dynamic process in most animals, involving distinct stages that probably perform multiple functions for the brain. Before sleep functions can be initiated, it is likely that behavioral responsiveness to the outside world needs to be reduced, even while the animal is still awake. Recent wo...
