ArticleVan Buskirk, Cheryl L.Sleep is recognized to be ancient in origin, with vertebrates and invertebrates experiencing behaviorally quiescent states that are regulated by conserved genetic mechanisms [1 ; 2]. Despite its conservation throughout phylogeny, the function of sleep . . . -
ThesisGoetting, DesireePlasticity in the drive to sleep represents an important strategy of coordinating and prioritizing competing behavioral drives to offset some of the vulnerabilities associated with sleep, such as the inability to forage. Despite the identification of . . .

ArticleSternberg, Paul W.The ancient origin of sleep is evidenced by deeply conserved signaling pathways regulating sleep-like behavior, such as signaling through the Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). In Caenorhabditis elegans, a sleep-like state can be induced at any . . .

ThesisMansfield, RichardWe spend about a third of our lives asleep, but the function of sleep remains a great mystery. Many hypotheses for the function of sleep have been put forward based upon the cellular perturbations associated with sleep deprivation. It has yet to be sh . . .

ThesisCuellar, RubySleep disturbances are widely prevalent and represent a significant health problem in the general population. Minorities sleep a significantly less amount of time than Caucasians. Given that Latinos are the largest ethnic minority in the U.S., it is i . . .
