Laura Fernandez’ Elife Paper accepted!

Falling asleep affects our behavior immediately and globally, but not all brain areas sleep equally: sleep is actually a local phenomenon!
But why is local sleep important? What we experience and learn during the day is important for how we sleep the next night.
Therefore, sleep needs to be regulated independently across functionally different brain areas.
We show this to be the case here for the mouse's somatosensory cortex: this sleep is highly enriched in sleep spindles that are highly plasticity-promoting. This cortical area also switches efficiently between different forms of local sleep. Local sleep might in this way be tuned according to the type of sensory activity experienced during the day.
