ADAR-mediated RNA editing suppresses sleep by acting as a brake on glutamatergic synaptic plasticity

Sleep is postulated to offset buildup in net synaptic strength that occurs during waking experience. Here, the authors identify a role for the RNA editing gene Adar in regulating glutamatergic synaptic plasticity and show that disruption in Adarexpression impairs normal waking in flies.
