Sleep studies

Since sleep was recognized to be regulated genetically, intense research has launched on two fronts: the development of model organisms for deciphering the molecular mechanisms of sleep and attempts to identify genetic underpinnings of sleep disorders. Sleep phenotyping studies also allow an understanding of how pathways, such as the circadian clock network and specific neurotransmitter signals, have conserved effects on sleep from <i>Drosophila</i> to humans.
