#JNeurosci: Findings from @AshleyIngiosi et al. @MGFrankLab @WSUMedicine indicate time spent awake is not singularly sufficient to increase #sleep need—basal forebrain astrocytes also play an active role in regulating this process in mice. jneurosci.org/lookup/DOI/10.…
Study suggests that #brain cells known as astrocytes are major players in controlling sleep need & may someday help humans go without #sleep for longer without negative consequences such as mental fatigue & impaired physical health. ow.ly/OsK850PApeE
Check out this nice article written by @VanDongenJudith on our recent @SfNJournals paper on ⭐️astrocytes⭐️ keeping mice awake without increasing markers of sleepiness. @WSUMedicine @MGFrankLab
Little-studied brain cells may someday help humans go without sleep for longer without negative consequences such as mental fatigue and impaired physical health. news.wsu.edu/press-release/… 🛌#WSU
🚨New publication alert!🚨 Check out this new paper on the role of astrocytes in sleep and sleep homeostasis from @AshleyIngiosi’s postdoc work in The Frank Lab!
What if you could stay awake🙂when you're supposed to be asleep😴 & not get sleepy🥱? Check out this study from my postdoc w/ @MGFrankLab @WSUMedicine just published in @SfNJournals! Basal forebrain astrocytes induce waking w/o increasing sleep drive.🧵 jneurosci.org/content/43/32/…
Mice staying awake without getting sleepy? 🤯 (At least based on objective markers of sleep need.)
Excited to share a preprint from my postdoc w/ @MGFrankLab @WSUSpokane! Gq-DREADD activation of ✨astrocytes✨ in basal forebrain (BF)-a nucleus that mediates sleep/wake-induces prolonged waking w/o compensatory, homeostatic response to sleep loss in🐭. tinyurl.com/2p8baun2
Evidence supporting a role for astrocytes in sleep and sleep homeostasis keeps building! Check out our review by @AshleyIngiosi and @marcosgfrank:
Happy to share this review by @marcosgfrank (@MGFrankLab) & me discussing the latest & greatest on the the role of #astrocytes🌟 in #sleep💤 & sleep regulation with a focus on the recent supernova of calcium data. I also debut my use of em dashes! febs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
Interested in studying sleep and glia, development, neuroplasticity, and/or neurodegeneration? We're looking for a #postdoc! You'll gain experience in a variety of in vivo imaging, optogenetic, and genetic techniques!
Looking for a #postdoc?! Come work with @ChristineMuheim & me in the @MGFrankLab @WSUSpokane studying sleep, glia, development, neuroplasticity, and neurodegeneration! Apply here 👇 and feel free to ask me questions about the lab. wsu.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/WSU_Jobs…
CHANGE OF INFO! The #Sleep and Bidirectional #Plasticity: the Untold Story satellite #SfN2018 event is TOMORROW from 7-8:30pm in the La Costa room of the Marriot Marquis. See you there!
We’ll be at #SfN18! Come see @AshleyIngiosi about #astrocytes & #sleep at dynamic poster (DP03) on Sat 1-5p or the TPDA session Sat 6:30-8:30p. ALSO, don’t miss the satellite meeting on sleep and bidirectional changes in #synaptic #plasticity Tues 7-8 p. medicine.wsu.edu/research/dcp/b…
The annual lab Halloween party was last night with @marcosgfrank, @LuluP78, @AshleyIngiosi, @ChristineMuheim, @neuro_Hannah et al!
