Study suggests that #brain cells known as astrocytes are major players in controlling sleep need & may someday help humans go without #sleep for longer without negative consequences such as mental fatigue & impaired physical health. ow.ly/OsK850PApeE

Lesser-known brain cells may be key to staying awake without cost to cognition, health

New animal research suggests that little-studied brain cells known as astrocytes are major players in controlling sleep need.

Check out this nice article written by @VanDongenJudith on our recent @SfNJournals paper on ⭐️astrocytes⭐️ keeping mice awake without increasing markers of sleepiness. @WSUMedicine @MGFrankLab
