A research group of Dr. Ikegaya and Dr. Fujisawa published a collaborative paper in Science. This study clarified that sharp wave-ripples that generated in the hippocampus during slow-wave sleep prevents saturation of neuronal circuit excitability by inducing long-term synaptic depression (LTD)-like plasticity in hippocampal synapses. This finding gives some answer to one of the biggest mysteries of the life sciences as to "why the animal sleeps".
