Abstract

Autophagy is a highly dynamic process influenced by systemic physiological states, yet technical limitations have constrained investigation of its role across the sleep–wake cycle. In this project, we investigate autophagy as a potential mediator of sleep benefits, mapping its temporal dynamics across the sleep–wake cycle in both Drosophila and mice. We are developing a real-time in vivo imaging approach to quantify autophagy in the brain, enabling spatially and temporally resolved measurements under baseline conditions and during sleep deprivation.
The newly developed method for real-time in vivo monitoring of autophagy will further allow us to elucidate the whole-organism orchestration of autophagy regulation and termination. This approach will enable us to connect cellular autophagy dynamics to behavioural states, integrating molecular, tissue-level, and organism-level perspectives on sleep functions.
