Fruit fly mutants that have severe sleep deficits perform better at olfactory learning and memory tasks, according to a new study. The paradox of enhanced memory despite sleep loss could be explained ...

Harada et al. 3 have now identified PKA as the kinase that phosphorylates serine 112 of BAD. They did this by purifying the kinase activity, which was present principally in heavy membrane ...

Fruit flies with genetic mutations that severely reduce sleep show enhanced performance in olfactory memory tasks, ...

On page 313, Nagai et al. describe a way of visualizing phosphorylation activity of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) as it occurs in living cells. They placed a well-characterized substrate of ...

Fruit fly mutants that have severe sleep deficits perform better at olfactory learning and memory tasks, according to a study published March 20th in ...
