The zebrafish mutant <i>dreammist</i> implicates sodium homeostasis in sleep regulation
2020-11-18
Abstract excerpt
Sleep is a nearly universal feature of animal behaviour, yet many of the molecular, genetic, and neuronal substrates that orchestrate sleep/wake transitions lie undiscovered. Employing a viral insertion sleep screen in larval zebrafish, we identified a novel gene, dreammist ( dmist ), whose loss results in behavioural hyperactivity and reduced sleep at night. The neuronally expressed dmist gene is conserved acr...
