Introduction After completion of this second volume, two important aspects have emerged: (i) the manuscripts submitted have met with the highest scientific standards and (ii) a quick comparison with the first Research Topic (Gutiérrez-Tobal et al., 2022) reveals new trends in the application of analytical tools, yet still being applied to unresolved problems in sleep research (see Figure 1).

Neuronal, glial, and endothelial brain tissue express myriad sensors for mechanical force, osmotic pressure, and shear stress. Focused ultrasound (fUS) can create pressure fields on deep brain regions to engage these endogenous sensory mechanisms. Numerous studies have demonstrated that fUS can alter resting membrane potential, local molecular content, or the frequency of spiking events [1].

Sleep deprivation occurs when an individual consistently fails to obtain an adequate amount of sleep, either due to external factors or internal disruptions. Sleep deprivation is a pervasive problem that affects millions of people worldwide.

Sleep is a fundamental aspect of human physiology that is crucial for maintaining physical and mental health. Despite its importance, many aspects of the relationship between sleep and brain function remain poorly understood. In this special issue on sleep function, we present a collection of articles that explore some of the most intriguing questions related to this complex relationship.
