The research explores the changes in synapses in zebrafish during different sleep-wake states. It specifically examines how sleep impacts the number and strength of synapses in neurons, proposing that not all sleep stages are equally effective in synaptic homeostasisāthe process by which the brain maintains a balance in synaptic strength.
