Refining the sleep circuits one neuron at a time

by Giorgio F. Gilestro The neural basis of sleep regulation remains elusive. A new study in PLOS Biology refines the key neuronal circuits involved in the regulation of sleep in fruit flies, confirming Drosophila melanogaster as the model of choice for unraveling the systems neuroscience of such a mysterious phenomenon.
