West Virginia University researchers found that smell-sensing neurons regulate sleep through serotonin signaling in fruit flies.

The findings may help explain why smell loss and sleep disturbances coexist in Long COVID.

Will a higher NR dose be needed for PD? Or a non-invasive imaging modality distinguishing🧠NAD+ from NADH?🧐

Great to see our new paper with @ferronhg.bsky.social published @cp-iscience.bsky.social!

Jawless vertebrates evolved increasingly hydrodynamically efficient head-shield morphologies, but extinction prevented them from occupying the most optimal regions of shape space.
