We show how CRH in the thalamic reticular nucleus modulates NREM sleep helping to understand how stress impacts sleep
Congrats to Loredana Cumpana and team in work led by Simone Astori

New paper on arousal in the brain! What controls the controller?

[Aiste Baleisyte @baseliu]

@aluskin Congrats , Andrew! This is such a good paper!

[SvenssonLab @SvenssonLab]

Today in @Nature, we share our latest paper. We developed an algorithm to predict novel peptides cleaved by proconvertases across all human tissues. Using this method, we identified BRP, a brain-derived anti-obesity peptide.
