🧠💤 Why do we sleep? A groundbreaking Neuron article explores this timeless question through a bold new lens:
🛌 The Motor Theory & Catecholamine Hypothesis of Sleep.
Instead of a single "sleep center," 🧬 sleep emerges from distributed motor control circuits regulating both somatic & autonomic activity.
And the "why"? 😴 Suppressing dopamine, noradrenaline & adrenaline may be key to healing our brain, body, & immune system.
📉 Sleep isn't passive—it's active neural choreography for recovery.
📚 Read if you're into neuroscience, systems biology, or sleep medicine.
