   A look into the REM dreams of the animal kingdom

   Animals' "active" sleep phases look very much like REM.

     @kofanchen @knutson_brain @arstechnica oh crazy! This is fascinating, thanks for sharing! For the light readers, here’s a summary of the paper https://www.rockefeller.edu/news/33135-fruit-flies-move-their-retinas-much-like-humans-move-their-eyes/

     Even fruit flies have two status of sleep
     https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960982220316584

     Also recently it was also shown fruit flies micro-move their eye
     https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-05317-5
     So it would be really interesting to see if the paradoxical sleep in fruit flies indeed also coincides with eye movement?

     @arstechnica How far down the phylogenetic line is rapid eye movement sleep conserved?
