>Neither jellyfish nor sea anemones have brains. But these animals sleep in ways strikingly similar to humans, according to a study published today in Nature Communications1. The findings bolster a theory that sleep evolved, at least in part, to protect the DNA in individual nerve cells, helping to repair damage that builds up while animals are awake.
“Neurons are very precious,” says study co-author Lior Appelbaum, a molecular neuroscientist at Bar-Ilan University in Ramat Gan, Israel. “They don’t divide, so you need to keep them intact.”
