>>12543079It's not just the brain. The ROS build up they discovered was inside the gut.
I'm guessing because being active directly negates the ability to remove ROS due to the influx from respiration due to the exertion of movement.
Overall I'm thinking it was a stasis like thing that occured and got coopted in things with brains to act as a way to "cleanse the pallette" of their cognition. Iirc I heard about an AI training technique that used sleep like states to consolidate and eliminate memories as a step to enhance accuracy in their neural networks.
