What will be the most exciting thing we will discover from the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice)? It might be liquid water under the surface... But sometimes the most important discovery is the one you never expected to make! Imperial Professor Michele Dougherty is the Astronomer Royal.

The fly as a model for unravelling the mechanisms of #sleep regulation. @giorgio.gilest.ro explores a @plosbiology.org study which refines the key neuronal circuits involved in the regulation of sleep in fruit flies #Drosophila 🧪 Paper: plos.io/42uPczp Primer: plos.io/4iVHgxR
Dissecting dFB regulation of sleep in Drosophila. Left: The commonly used 23E10 GAL4 drives expression in the green cells located in the brain and the ventral nerve cord. Jones and colleagues have obtained a refined split-GAL4 line that limits expression in the brain cells only, excluding the peripheral VNC-SP cells. Top right: Optogenetic stimulation of the dFBsplit cells at frequencies higher than 10 Hz for 24 h leads to an increase in baseline sleep and promotes long-term memory consolidation. Chronic inactivation also paradoxically leads to an increase in baseline sleep and mildly affects sleep homeostasis. Bottom right: Optogenetics activation of cholinergic neurons also leads to an increase in baseline sleep, while inactivation leads to a decrease in sleep rebound but only in stronger regimes of thermogenetic silencing.

Great to see this go live. Hopefully a tool that will help with loads of membrane protein research. Will be giving a Webinar about this at some point in the future and will give details via a follow up post.
