This study identifies cell-type- and region-specific transcriptional changes in non-neuronal cells of the mouse hippocampus and prefrontal cortex following acute sleep deprivation.

This study shows that activating basal forebrain astrocytes increases wakefulness without increasing sleep drive, suggesting sleep regulation involves specific neuronal-glial circuits.

The paper examines how sleep deprivation affects gene expression in the prefrontal cortex of developing mice, identifying age-dependent changes in gene categories.

The paper investigates the role of REM sleep in ocular dominance plasticity in layer 2/3 neurons during the visual critical period using 2-photon calcium imaging in mice.

The paper shows astroglial calcium concentrations change with sleep and wake states, and mediate sleep need by affecting the homeostatic response to sleep deprivation.

This study shows that Shank3 modulates sleep and circadian transcription factor expression in mice, with sleep deprivation exacerbating gene expression differences between Shank3 mutants and wild types.
