Research Abstract |
Using Drosophila melanogaster as a model animal for sleep research,we identified calcineurin and others as novel sleep related genes and showed therelationship between sleep and memory retention. By the analysis of dopamine functions,which is an arousal regulator, we showed its role in rest length regulation, metabolismand temperature preference. We also identified arousal regulating dopamine circuit infly brain at the single cell level.
