Why do some neurons say “sleep” while others shout “stay awake!” — inside the same brain?

In fruit flies, researchers just mapped the molecular chaos behind this nightly tug-of-war. And it’s wilder than we thought.

This Thanksgiving, I am hugely grateful for scientists who were pioneers in our field - particularly those who did not receive the credit they deserved in their own time. Inspiring examples published today:

Our recent study in Cell Metabolism provides compelling evidence that chromatin accessibility and transcription factor network remodeling in aging reflect the predictable degrading effects of a mechanism initially driving organismal maturation.

Unmet expectations, a previously uncharacterized fly protein, is a SAM sensor for the mTORC1 pathway. Tracing the evolution of Unmet reveals that the pathway uses the GATOR2 complex to capture and rep...
