DESCRIPTION:Laurent Seugnet\, PhD. INSERM-U628\, Centre de Recherche en Ne
 urosciences\,  Lyon\, France.\nDespite decades of research\, the cellular 
 and molecular processes by which sleep maintains normal brain function as 
 well as the mechanisms involved in sleep homeostasis remain elusive. Using
  Drosophila molecular genetics and a learning assay sensitive to sleep los
 s\, we have uncovered a role for the receptor Notch in sleep homeostasis a
 nd learning. Together these results identify a novel neuronal-glia signall
 ing pathway dependent on Notch and highlight the emerging role of glia in 
 regulating both sleep and learning impairments associated with sleep loss.
