Newest preprint & we think it's a big one! Young animals sleep a ton, but not with a daily pattern. What controls emergence of circadian sleep🌘? In flies we figured out WHEN and HOW. But WHY?? Sleep rhythms enable ability to make enduring memories🤯🤯 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
I need people to understand how difficult it is to get an NIH grant. You spend months writing a proposal, following strict guidelines that include a detailed multiyear budget, bios of everyone on your team, plans for participant safety & ethical conduct. Then you send it off -1/n
Sleep is complex, & so was this study. Congrats to Adil @SleepSeq for finishing this project to link neural stem cells to sleep behavior. This was only possible with sleep experts @Budha, Jenny, @KayserLab & $$$ from multiple sources. Congrats all! doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2024.0…
Rising star @ZPRosenthal PGY-3 Resident @PennPsych uses a novel mouse model of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and DCS/FD-DOS in humans to show that: ECT generates a hidden wave - CSD - after seizure biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Check out our latest! Going from human🤷♂️to fly🪰to fish 🐟 as we try to figure out what makes some people excessively sleepy during the day - idiopathic hypersomnia💤

Congratulations on a masterful thesis defense by DR. KYLA MACE!!! An amazing scientist and even more amazing person. We are bursting with pride over here y’all 🥳🤩
🐣 July's most-read Developmental Biology paper shows how early life eating shapes the development of the sleep/wake cycle in fruit flies: elifesciences.org/articles/9…

do you love philly? are you a brilliant, up-and-coming scholar in neuroscience? apply to be a SPINE fellow! fellows will journey to philly, present their work at a symposium, and meet with local faculty. the deadline is july 26th, so apply now and reach out with questions!
Check out our latest @eLife! We discover how changes to energetic demand across development govern the emergence of daily sleep patterns. Congrats to departing postdoc Amy Poe who led the work, heading to start her own lab @UArkansas in 2 weeks!!!
