Exploring Associations Between Hypoxia, Serum Erythropoietin, and Cognition in Patients With Mood Disorders and Healthy Individuals

Brain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose Moderate repeated hypoxia (MRH) has shown neuroprotective and neuroplastic effects, partly mediated by erythropoietin (EPO) via hypoxia‐inducible factors (HIFs). This study examined the effects of 3 weeks of daily 3.5‐h normobaric hypoxia (12% O2) versus normoxia (20% O2) combined with cognitive training on oxygen saturation (SpO2 ...

Peripheral Inflammation and Sleep Loss Induce Coordinated Motivational Changes: An Experimental Two‐Hit Stress Model

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 35, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Sleep loss and low‐grade inflammation are common stressors that affect behaviour and recovery needs. To examine their separate and combined effects on motivation for everyday behaviours, we developed a two‐hit experimental model. Participants (N = 56, 31 women) completed three experimental visits: sleep saturation (two nights, 9 h in bed/night)
