The retinal ipRGC-preoptic circuit mediates the acute effect of light on sleep
Nature Communications, 2021 The preoptic area (POA) is critical for sleep regulation but its role in acute, non-circadian, light effects on sleep are unclear. The authors show that intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells provide substantial input into the POA and ...

Accuracy of Three Commercial Wearable Devices for Sleep Tracking in Healthy Adults
SensorsSleep tracking by consumers is becoming increasingly prevalent; yet, few studies have evaluated the accuracy of such devices. We sought to evaluate the accuracy of three devices (Oura Ring Gen3, Fitbit Sense 2, and Apple Watch Series 8) compared to the ...

NREM delta power and AD-relevant tauopathy are associated with shared cortical gene networks
Scientific Reports, 2021 Reduced NREM sleep in humans is associated with AD neuropathology. Recent work has demonstrated a reduction in NREM sleep in preclinical AD, pointing to its potential utility as an early marker of dementia.

A miR-219-5p-bmal1b negative feedback loop contributes to circadian regulation in zebrafish
Communications BiologyMicroRNAs post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression and contribute to numerous life processes, including circadian rhythms. However, whether miRNAs contribute to zebrafish circadian regulation has not yet been investigated.

CCorGsDB: a database for clock correlated genes in the mouse and human central nervous systems
npj Biological Timing and SleepWe developed CCorGsDB, a web-based resource integrating mouse and human CNS co-expression networks filtered by circadian biomarkers. We validated the networks using time-series data from sixteen mouse regions and identified a conserved set of 251 ...

Wellcome Open Research, 2017 Background: Disruption of rhythms in activity and rest occur in many diseases, and provide an important indicator of healthy physiology and behaviour. However, outside the field of sleep and circadian rhythm research, these rhythmic processes are rarely ...

Physiology of Circadian Entrainment [PDF]
Physiological Reviews, 2010 Mammalian circadian rhythms are controlled by endogenous biological oscillators, including a master clock located in the hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN). Since the period of this oscillation is of ∼24 h, to keep synchrony with the environment, circadian rhythms need to be entrained daily by means of Zeitgeber (“time giver”) signals, such as ...

Sake yeast induces the sleep-promoting effects under the stress-induced acute insomnia in mice
Scientific Reports, 2021 Sleep deprivation induces adverse effects on the health, productivity, and performance. The individuals who could not get enough sleep temporarily experience the symptoms of an induced acute insomnia. This study investigated the efficacy of sake yeast in

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021 Background Disrupted nighttime sleep has been associated with heart failure (HF). However, the relationship between daytime napping, an important aspect of sleep behavior commonly seen in older adults, and HF remains unclear. We sought to investigate the
