Small-molecule screen in adult Drosophila identifies VMAT as a regulator of sleep.

The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience - 8 May 2013

Nall Aleksandra H, Sehgal Amita

Abstract excerpt

Sleep is an important physiological state, but its function and regulation remain elusive. In Drosophila melanogaster, a useful model organism for studying sleep, forward genetic screens have identified important sleep-modulating genes and pathways; however, the results of such screens may be limited by developmental abnormalities or lethality associated with mutation of certain genes. To circumvent these...
