Recent studies have identified the Drosophila brain circuits involved in sleep/wake switch and pointed to modulation of neuronal excitability as one underlying mechanisms triggering sleep need. In this study we aimed explore link between homeostatic regulation behavior circadian circuit. For purpose, selected Pumilio (Pum), whose main function is repress protein translation has been linked during chronic patterns altered activity. Here effects Pum on homeostasis melanogaster, which shares...
