Developmental emergence of sleep rhythms enables long-term memory capabilities in <i>Drosophila</i>

Abstract excerpt

In adulthood, sleep-wake rhythms are one of the most prominent behaviors under circadian control. However, during early life, sleep is spread across the 24-hour day (1–4). The mechanism through which sleep rhythms emerge, and the consequent advantage conferred to a juvenile animal, are unknown. In 2 nd instar Drosophila larvae (L2), like human infants, sleep is not under circadian control (5). Here, we identify...
