This project explores the mechanisms of sleep regulation using the C. elegans model, focusing on a specific neuron involved in sleep promotion. It aims to uncover molecular processes that govern sleep behavior, potentially informing our understanding of sleep disorders in humans.
Sleep is essential for human and animal life and is broadly conserved.
The nervous system induces sleep through the activation of sleep-active sleep-promoting neurons but the key mechanisms of sleep control remain to be elucidated.
Recent work from my lab showed that the C. elegans nervous system contains a single sleep-active sleep-promoting neuron, called RIS, which is GABAergic and peptidergic as is its vertebrate counterpart. C. elegans shows sleep behavior and allows the easy combination of…
