Summary: Sleep in flies shares key featureswith sleep in mammals Like mammalian sleep, sleep-like states in Drosophila are: • consolidated into long period of quiescence • characterized by increased arousal thresholds • homeostatically regulated • modulated by stimulants and hypnotics • associated with changes in brain electrical activity • associated with changes in gene expression
