Thank you, luckily it didn't put you to sleep during the reading! 💤

💡 Some open questions:
❓ Are mitochondrial state changes always causal in sleep (or other homeostatic behaviours) regulation, or secondary to altered neuronal activity?
🧠 Are there gradients of mitochondrial properties across neuron types and circuits, relevant to behaviours? #Neuroscience #Sleep

I would like to thank Prof. Rasmus Petersen, Prof. Ricardo Maravall, and Dr Riccardo Storchi for organising the meeting "Breakthroughs in Understanding Natural Behaviour and its Neural Underpinnings" which prompted this collection of reviews.

I also comment on our latest findings about mitochondria in fly sleep-control dFBNs, with my perspective on their neuroenergetic dynamics in light of the recent literature. 🪰

I summarise cross-species experimental findings on how mitochondrial morphology, trafficking, and turnover relate to sleep and, more broadly, to behavioural homeostasis, and I examine the underlying neurobiology.

Thanks for pointing out this study... It really seems restorative sleep crucially engages a metabolic response!
