Brain cells involved in insomnia identified

An international team of researchers has identified, for the first time, the cell types, areas and biological processes in the brain that mediate the genetic risk of insomnia. This was made possible by assessing DNA and sleep features in no less than 1.3 million people. The findings are a major step toward getting a grip on the biological mechanisms that cause insomnia. Today, Nature Genetics publishes the results of this research.
