A single phosphorylation site of SIK3 regulates daily sleep amounts and sleep need in mice.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that single amino acid changes at SIK3 S551 (S551A and S551D) reproduce the hypersomnia phenotype of the Sleepy mutant mice, suggesting that the evolutionally conserved S551 of Sik3 mediates the intracellular signaling crucial for the regulation of daily sleep amounts and sleep need at the organismal level.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gut microbiota depletion by chronic antibiotic treatment alters the sleep/wake architecture and sleep EEG power spectra in mice.

TL;DR: Sleep analysis based on electroencephalogram and electromyogram recordings revealed that AIMD mice spent significantly less time in non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREMS) during the light phase while spending more time in NREMS and rapid eye movementSleep (REMS), during the dark phase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Methodology and theoretical basis of forward genetic screening for sleep/wakefulness in mice

TL;DR: A large-scale screening system using EEG/EMG-based sleep/wake monitoring with reliable parameters is established and the theoretical basis of forward genetics research for sleep in mice is discussed.
