Abstract

The drive to sleep is strongly influenced by time of day, with temporal information conveyed through the circadian clock. In pursuit of the neural mechanisms underlying this process, in this issue of Neuron, Sun et al. identify a novel circuit that links circadian output neurons to sleep-promoting neurons within the mushroom bodies.

摘要

睡眠的驱动力受到时间的强烈影响，时间信息通过生物钟传递。为了探索这一过程背后的神经机制，Sun 等人在本期《神经元》杂志中确定了一个新的回路，该回路将生物钟输出神经元与蘑菇体中的促进睡眠神经元联系起来。
