Molecular pathways leading to sleep and wakefulness in Drosophila by Christodoulou, K

“…This wake-promoting effect is hypothesised to require the exocytosis of the potassium “leak” channel, Sandman, to the plasma membrane, where it exerts its effects by blunting the firing of the neurons. In the chronically sleep-deprived flies bearing a mutation for the crossveinless-c (cv-c) gene, the dFB neurons were previously found in electrical quiescence as well. …”
