Expression of the Alzheimer’s-associated Aβ-peptide disrupts the normal aggregation of proteins inside secretory compartments.

Two fly cells (each outlined by a white-dashed line) with about 10 secretory compartments, normally characterised by a central dense-core granule containing aggregated proteins (green; left-hand cell). Aβ-peptide expression disrupts this process (right-hand cell). Magenta staining indicates acidic compartments and ‘n’ the nuclei of these binucleate cells.

Picasso’s sleeping ‘Woman with Yellow Hair’ (1931) becomes an arrangement of mitochondrial shapes. In a new study in Nature, Raffaele Sarnataro, Gero Miesenböck and colleagues identify mitochondrial electron flux as the root cause of sleep.

Why do we need sleep? Oxford researchers find the answer may lie in mitochondria

A New study uncovers how a metabolic “overload” in specialised brain cells triggers the need to sleep. Sleep may not just be rest for the mind - it may be essential maintenance for the body’s power supply.

(left panel) transient expression of the serotonin transporter alongside increased REM sleep buffers cortical serotonin levels in the developing brain with (central panel) serotonin signalling only observed in response to aversive stimuli such as an air puff. (Right panel) dosing with SSRIs in early life can have long-term detrimental consequences for sensory-evoked neural activity with hyperactivity observed in animal exposed to the anti-depressant.
