Thoughtful discussions, and an all round whale of a time! Lovely to celebrate 25 years of sleep in flies with our fields founders - Paul Shaw and Amita Sehgal. Thanks to everybody that made it out

“Sleep homeostasis isn’t just a neuronal game, astrocytes play a key role too!”, says Ashley Ingiosi. Proteomic analyses from their lab reveal that astrocytes are more impacted by sleep recovery post deprivation than deprivation itself. #EMBOneuroSleep

Mubarak Hussain Syed talks about sleep-regulating neurons in the dorsal fan-shaped body (dFB) that originate from late neural stem cells, with fate shaped by ecdysone signaling. Could sleep disorders be traced back to neurodevelopment? Interesting and insightful! #EMBOneuroSleep

5% of Indians carries the gene deletion for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Dhandapany Perundurai shows that sleep fragmentation is a risk factor for heart failure in humanised transgenic HCM mice - suggesting that regularising sleep may help patients. #EMBOneuroSleep

In ‘Sleep sculpts even the simplest of systems: sleep and the single synapse’ - Noelle L’Etoile discussed the neural dynamics of sleep and memory consolidation in nematodes showing the critical role of sleep post-spaced-odor-training to induce long-term memory. #EMBOneuroSleep

Neuroscience of Sleep @sleepneuroscience.bsky.social · 12/03/2025

In Oleg Lyamin’s talk we heard about the fascinating ways in which various sea lions and seals sleep while swimming, in the presence of predators and while balancing the need to feed. These strategies include unihemispheric sleep and apneas during sleep dives. #EMBOneuroSleep

Ritika Mukherji talks about Djungarian hamsters that enter torpor state via NREM sleep, showing distinct EEG & LFP slow-wave patterns along with energy savings revealing a tight link between sleep and hypo metabolic state of torpor. #EMBOneuroSleep

Gabriela Wagner talks about arctic reindeer that show sleep homeostasis to extreme seasonal changes. They spent less time in slow-wave sleep during rumination- suggesting rumination may lie at the border of Wakefulness and sleep. #EMBOneuroSleep

Neuroscience of Sleep @sleepneuroscience.bsky.social · 12/03/2025

Neils Rattenborg talked about ecological flexibility in avian sleep - how different species like ducks, pigeons, frigatebirds, penguins adapt their sleep to suit ecological needs - unihemispheric sleep, microsleep & reproductive sleeplessness. #EMBOneuroSleep

NBRC’s Karthick Ravichandran elegantly tied together the sub-cellular, metabolic & cognitive effects of tiredness in mice - highlighting the transcriptional and translational control of mitochondrial activity upon sleep deprivation. #EMBOneuroSleep

Nitin Chouhan talks about the role of sleep in memory consolidation, showing that drosophila can switch to sleep-independent memory consolidation when starved or acutely exposed to ethanol. Rewards like sucrose restore sleep’s role in memory consolidation. #EMBOneuroSleep

Deepika Kant discussed the critical role of sleep in compensatory contextual fear memory following dorsal hippocampus loss. The infra-limbic cortex compensates for the loss of the dorsal hippocampus; but can’t in the absence of sleep. #EMBOneuroSleep

An exciting start to Day-2 EMBO Workshop: Neuroscience of Sleep. "We sleep to restore and maintain the brain’s computational sweet spot—criticality!", says Keith Hengen. Wakefulness disrupts it, sleep restores it, and explains sleep's necessity across evolution. #EMBOneuroSleep #braincomputation

"Sleep loss isn’t the villain—stress is" says Giorgio Gilestro. His research shows that gut ROS buildup is the main reason for Sleep deprivation induced lethality. Rethinking sleep studies starts here! #EMBOneuroSleep

Sleep isn’t just rest —it’s a reset, says Anna Suppermpool. In zebra fish, synapse loss depends on sleep pressure, peaking after prolonged wakefulness. Using single neuronal imaging to show that not all type of sleep can regulate synaptic homeostasis. #EMBOneuroSleep

Aditi Pophale fascinated us with a talk about ‘quiet, and ‘active’ sleep in Octopuses. They sleep with dynamic skin pattern & colour changes that are result of controlled changes in neural activity. This offers fresh insights into the evolution of sleep. #EMBOneuroSleep
