(A) Expression of Drd1a-Cre+ neurons in Snap25 cKO & Drd1a-Cre;Ai14+/+ brains. There was no observed difference between the number or distribution of Drd1a-Cre+ neurons (red) between silenced and non-silenced strains. (B) Schematics of Snap25 cKO lines (Drd1a-Cre/+;Ai14+/+;Snap25fl/fl). (C) Zoom-in representative images of Drd1a-Cre+ neurons in primary somatosensory cortex (S1). No noticeable difference between the number of Drd1a-Cre+ neurons in either strain was observed.

Remembering the Need for Sleep

Sleep is the only ubiquitous behaviour whose function remains unknown. The Miesenböck group is looking for—and finding—clues to the mystery of sleep in the properties of sleep-inducing cells in the brain.
