1/ 🚨 Our new paper is online in @Nature ! As its first author, I’m enthusiastic to finally share it with you all!🎉 🧠 We discovered a mechanistic link between cellular energy metabolism and the control of the need to sleep 💤 👉 nature.com/articles/s4158… @OxfordDPAG 🧵👇
8/ 🧵 The rearrangements in mitochondrial shape reflect a mismatch between ATP demand and electron flux causing the leak: during sleep deprivation, wake-promoting dopamine inhibits dFBNs, thus creating an electron surplus through elevated ATP concentrations.
