Ever wonder why a hot day makes you want to curl up and snooze? Neurobiologists have discovered that fruit flies have a built-in nap time in the middle of the day. Much like how our bodies regulate temperature, these flies have a ‘thermometer’ circuit that kicks in when temperature rises. It’s like when you feel so warm and toasty under your blanket that you can’t help but doze off. This fascinating research sheds light on how organisms respond to external stimuli, and it may provide insights into human sleep patterns as well. Imagine if we could harness this natural circuitry to optimize our own sleep cycles! To learn more about this intriguing study, check out the full article!
Neurobiologists have found that fruit flies are pre-programmed to take a nap in the middle of the day. The new article explores a ‘thermometer’ circuit for hot temperatures.
