WELCOME
My name is Ashley Ingiosi, and I started as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neuroscience at Ohio State University in October 2022. My current research focuses on the role of astrocytes in sleep and sleep homeostasis. This research is funded, in part, by a BRAIN Initiative K99/R00.

A role for astroglial calcium in mammalian sleep and sleep regulation
Ingiosi AM, Hayworth CR, Harvey DO, Singletary KG, Rempe MJ, Wisor JP, Frank MG (2020) Current Biology 30:4373-4383.e7
Video shows astrocyte activity in the brain during non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREMS), rapid eye movement sleep (REMS) and wakefulness (WAKE) as captured with a genetically encoded calcium indicator and miniscope. Video shown is 16x faster than normal speed.
A quick discussion of our main findings can be found here.

Astrocytes, not just neurons, play a role in sleep
The Scientist
Our study exploring the role of astroglial modulation of sleep expression and homeostasis via noradrenergic signaling is published in Clocks & Sleep.
A quick discussion of our main findings can be found here.
Our review on the latest research on astroglial contributions to sleep and sleep homeostasis is in press at The FEBS Journal.
The Ingiosi Lab will open in Fall 2022 in the Department of Neuroscience at The Ohio State University!!!
