This study identifies stk32a as a conserved sleep regulator that links neuropeptidergic signaling to sleep homeostasis by suppressing sensory and motor systems in zebrafish and mice.

This study identifies distinct sleep sub-states in larval zebrafish using behavioral data and Hidden Markov Modeling, showing their regulation by neuromodulators and conservation across vertebrates.

The paper identifies QRFP/Pth4 neurons in zebrafish hypothalamus as a novel sleep-promoting population that acts through hindbrain monoaminergic neurons.

The paper identifies a neural circuit in zebrafish where neuropeptide VF neurons promote sleep by activating serotonergic raphe nuclei.
