    Why do people get sleepy after staying up late or sleeping less? Chinese scientists have found the reason for the distress

    Xu Min's research team from the Center for Excellence in Brain Science and Intelligent Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (Institute of Neuroscience) used calcium imaging and optogenetics to find two types of neurons in the basal forebrain that are responsible for regulating the release of adenosine: acetylcholinergic Neurons and glutamatergic neurons


    Based on the above findings, the researchers speculated that the intervention of glutamatergic neurons may reduce sleepiness


    This study reveals the important role of glutamatergic neurons in the basal forebrain region in mediating the accumulation of sleep pressure in the waking state, and provides an important reference for exploring the treatment of sleep disorders
