Researchers Identify Novel Protein That Explains How Biological Clocks Regulate Human Sleep
A number of experiments which were informed by observation that fruit flies could not sleep were able to identify a mutant gene which is called the "Wide Awake". Research undertaken by researchers from John Hopkins hospital has shown that the mutant gene interrupts with how the biological clock works and sets the timing for sleep.
Following isolation the gene, Mark N. Wu, the study author, and his team determined that when working properly, the gene Wide Awaake helps shut down clock neurons of the brain that control arousal by making them more responsive to signals of the inhibitory neurotransmitter called GABA.
