These bright orange brain areas are associated with learning. On the bottom, a well-rested fly shows lower levels of Bruchpilot, which might make the fly ready to learn after a good night's rest.Chiara Cirelli, University of Wisconsin-MadisonChiara Cirelli, University of Wisconsin-MadisonPhotograph

    Brains of sleep-deprived and well-rested fruit flies

    On top, the brain of a sleep-deprived fly glows orange because of Bruchpilot, a communication protein between brain cells. These bright orange brain areas are associated with learning. On the bottom, a well-rested fly shows lower levels of Bruchpilot, which might make the fly ready to learn after a good night's rest.
