Cortistatin promotes this synchronization directly Homeostatic regulation -- preprocortistatin mRNA is upregulated after sleep deprivation and follows a circadian rhythm, indicating that cortistatin functions as an endogenous homeostatic sleep factor BDNF-dependent expression -- brain-derived neurotrophic factor regulates cortistatin expression in an activity-dependent manner, linking neuronal activity during wakefulness to subsequent sleep drive Cortistatin's receptor pharmacology is well-defined
