Scientists find brain signals in fruit flies that link alcohol to insomnia, aiding potential human treatments.

Researchers studying fruit flies have identified brain signals and cells linked to alcohol-induced insomnia, a discovery that could lead to targeted treatments for alcohol-related sleep issues in humans. Alcohol disrupts sleep patterns in flies similarly to humans, with a brain chemical called acetylcholine playing a key role. This finding may help develop more effective therapies for sleep problems during alcohol withdrawal.
