No references found | The Preventing Sleep Deprivation program, funded to the tune of $100 million, is exploring everything from the gene code of fruit flies—who can go for incredibly long periods without rest—to the use of ampakines, a novel class of chemicals thought to reverse the effects of sleep deprivation. Studies of cells in the laboratory have shown that drugs called ampakines elevate production of BDNF. Scientists in California are developing a class of experimental drugs call ampakines which flood the brain with a neurotransmitter that makes learning easy, improves memory and boosts alertness. |
