摘要
Recent work on quiescent states in Caenorhabditis elegans suggests that worms exhibit behaviours reminiscent of satiety and sleep in mammals. At a molecular level, signalling through the EGF receptor, and protein kinase G promotes quiescent states in both worms and flies, suggesting conserved mechanisms for sleep-like behaviours.
