Abstract

Research over the last 20 years has firmly established the existence of sleep states across the animal kingdom. Work in non-mammalian animal models such as nematodes, fruit flies, and zebrafish has now uncovered many evolutionarily conserved aspects of sleep physiology and regulation, including shared circuit architecture, homeostatic and circadian control elements, and principles linking sleep physiology to function. Non-mammalian sleep research is now shedding light on fundamental aspects of the genetic and neuronal circuit regulation of sleep, with direct implications for the understanding of how sleep is regulated in mammals.
