#JNeurosci: Findings from @AshleyIngiosi et al. @MGFrankLab @WSUMedicine indicate time spent awake is not singularly sufficient to increase #sleep need—basal forebrain astrocytes also play an active role in regulating this process in mice.

Study suggests that #brain cells known as astrocytes are major players in controlling sleep need & may someday help humans go without #sleep for longer without negative consequences such as mental fatigue & impaired physical health. ow.ly/OsK850PApeE

Check out this nice article written by @VanDongenJudith on our recent @SfNJournals paper on ⭐️astrocytes⭐️ keeping mice awake without increasing markers of sleepiness. @WSUMedicine @MGFrankLab
