Compartment specific regulation of sleep by mushroom body requires GABA and dopaminergic signaling

Abstract Sleep is a fundamental behavioral state important for survival and is universal in animals with sufficiently complex nervous systems. As a highly conserved neurobehavioral state, sleep has been described in species ranging from jellyfish to humans. Biogenic amines like dopamine, serotonin a...
