The researchers believe that the findings could offer therapeutic potential for human beings. The brain of the fruit fly regulates sleep in a similar manner to the brain of a human being. The researchers hence have hypothesized that adequate sleep enhances brain cell connections that encode important memories while reducing the brain connections that encode worthless information.
