Microexons Linked to Hyperarousal and Sleep Loss in Zebrafish
Key Takeaways
- Researchers linked altered neural microexons to hyperarousal in zebrafish.
- Affected larvae showed heightened neural activity, changed swimming, and reduced sleep.
- The work connects alternative splicing to the biological control of arousal.
- Because arousal regulation is evolutionarily conserved, the findings may inform autism and schizophrenia research.
