Wonderful work from Julia and @DieringLab which shows once again how important sleep can be to development. spectrumnews.org/news/lost-s… via @Spectrum

Lost sleep sparks lasting social problems in SHANK3 mice

Sleep disruption early in life has long-lasting consequences for mice missing a copy of the autism-linked gene SHANK3.
