From Rest to Reset: 🛌 The Motor Theory & Catecholamine Hypothesis of Sleep

🧠💤 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.   🔗 https://www.cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S0896-6273(25)00623-3   #SleepScience #Neuroscience 🧠 #MotorTheory #Catecholamines #Neuron #PrecisionMedicine #BrainHealth #SleepResearch #WhyWeSleep #SystemsBiology
