Down-regulation of a cytokine secreted from peripheral fat bodies improves visual attention while reducing sleep in Drosophila.
Sleep is vital for survival. Yet under environmentally challenging conditions, such as starvation, animals suppress their need for sleep. Interestingly, starvation-induced sleep loss does not evoke a subsequent sleep rebound. Little is known about how starvation-induced sleep deprivation differs fro...
