To facilitate the genetic study of sleep, we documented that rest behavior in Drosophila melanogaster is a sleep-like state. The animals choose a preferred location, become immobile for periods of up to 157 min
networks (a.k.a. resting-state networks; or RSNs). Importantly, typical time-varying analyses (e.g., using sliding window-based approaches) have been prone to be affected by sampling variability and physiological artifacts in the fMRI data43,44. With that said, however, work using simultaneou...
This in turn requires a state of globally synchronized neuronal activity, reduced sensory input and behavioural immobility — the well-known manifestations of sleep.

Sleep is a resource, like food and water, yet the deprivation of no other resource would render us so vulnerable from one second to the other. Maybe this is due to the fact that the brain has to “make” us hunt for food or find water to keep a homeostatic balance, while it can ...
