It could also be sensed low motion, and its benefits would escape the attention span. I remember

If there is excitation by not being able to lower glutamate levels in the brain, there will be sleeping problems and consequences.

Life on earth has existed for around 4 billion years (Dodd et al., 2017). For the first 2 billion, all creatures alive were single cells with no nucleus (Dacks et al., 2016). Then—according to a leading theory (Martin & Müller, 1998; Martin, Neukirchen, Zimorski, Gould, & Sousa, 2016)—certain bacteria invaded certain archaea, members of a separate domain of microbes.
