Surprising connection uncovered! 🧠 New research on the Australian dragon 🦎 reveals unexpected similarities between the neural networks that control motor rhythms and those managing #sleep. Insights like these help unravel the mysteries of sleep across species. #SleepScience

Our story about relaxing sponges is out today in @CurrentBiology! 🧽 For a concise summary, check out the thread below 👇 https://t.co/it2WG5eYBG

The evolution of coordinated behavior in early animals is largely obscure. Ruperti et al. uncover that sponge movement is driven by actomyosin stress fiber relaxation, regulated by Akt/NO/PKG/PKA....
https://t.co/23ujvW2OjO Did you know that sponges can move? @FabianRuperti with @savitski_lab and @Prevedel_lab studied sponge movement and found an evolutionary ancient mechanism controlling cellular tension and defense which is also present in our vasculature! A thread 🧵:

Happy to announce two new papers out in Nature today! One is on octopus sleep, where Neuropixels recordings shows a wake-like stage of 'active sleep' accompanied by rapidly changing skin patterns that match those of waking behavior https://t.co/wbtWcFHvYM

Finally! Check out this beautiful study by my colleagues 😊
In a new exciting study published in @Nature today, researchers at @MpiBrain and @OISTedu have shown that the way cephalopods 🦑generate their camouflage pattern is much more complex than previously believed. 👉News: https://t.co/OXQPp4ZdiP 👉Journal article:

Excited to share that our cuttlefish brain atlas is now out in @CurrentBiology! Check out our website https://t.co/26mKyJVe5V and play around with the brain of this crazy camouflaging cephalopod. It was an amazing team effort 🐙✨ https://t.co/uY2svbeEPS
