Insomnia‐Driven Hippocampal Atrophy: Evidence From Bidirectional Mendelian Randomization

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Observational studies link insomnia to hippocampal atrophy, yet causal inference remains limited by confounding and reverse causality. While Mendelian randomization (MR) studies have explored sleep‐brain associations, bidirectional causality between insomnia and hippocampal subfield volumes remains unaddressed.

MicroRNAs in Methamphetamine: Addiction, Neurotoxicity, and Therapeutic Potential

MedComm – Future Medicine, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
The use of METH leads to the release of dopamine from the affected brain regions, including the nucleus accumbens (NAc), ventral tegmental area (VTA), prefrontal cortex (PFC), hippocampus (Hip), and striatum. This triggers signals that alter miRNA expression, which in turn leads to differential expression of target genes.

Evaluating and Determining the Effects of Psychotropic Drugs on Motor Vehicle Driving Performance: Key Considerations of the Japanese Guideline and Criteria for Clinical Implementation of Evidence

Neuropsychopharmacology Reports, Volume 46, Issue 1, March 2026.
The Japanese guideline and criteria for evaluating and determining the effects of psychotropic drugs on motor vehicle driving performance enable the clinical implementation of evidence by assessing “persistence of clinically meaningful impairment”. ABSTRACT The cross‐national differences in automobile driving precautions stated in psychotropic drug ...

Characterization of a putative orexin receptor in Ciona intestinalis sheds light on the evolution of the orexin/hypocretin system in chordates

Scientific Reports
Tunicates are evolutionary model organisms bridging the gap between vertebrates and invertebrates. A genomic sequence in Ciona intestinalis (CiOX) shows high similarity to vertebrate orexin receptors and protostome allatotropin receptors (ATR).

Correlation between sleep problems and morning serum melatonin and ferritin levels in Japanese 5‐year‐old children with autism spectrum disorder

Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences Reports, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Aim Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are more likely to have sleep problems. Few studies have investigated the relationship between sleep problems and blood melatonin and ferritin levels. The objective of this study was to determine the correlation between sleep problems and morning serum melatonin and ferritin levels, and the ...

Relationship Between Gut Microbiota and Cancer Neuro‐Immunity

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2026.
Tumour cells influence neural activity and microbiota homeostasis through cytokines and immune modulation. Meanwhile, gut microbiota regulates neural function through metabolic products, affects immune responses via neurotransmitters, feedback regulates neural activity and influences tumour microenvironment.

Interventions for Migraine and Sleep: A Systematic Review Exploring Their Bidirectional Association

European Journal of Neurology, Volume 33, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Migraine and sleep disturbances share a bidirectional relationship, influencing each other's frequency and severity. The aim of this systematic review is to examine the effects of migraine‐targeted interventions on both migraine outcomes and sleep parameters (including sleep quality and insomnia symptoms), as well as the effects of ...

Research progress of narcolepsy

Chinese Journal of Contemporary Neurology and Neurosurgery, 2017
The discovery of hypothalamus Hypocretin (Hcrt)/Orexin system and its relationship with narcolepsy is one of the major advances in sleep medicine. Hcrt/Orexin is a significant neurotransmitter in the circadian cycle of arousal.

Evaluation of metabolism‐related molecules in rat model of autism spectrum disorders

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 3, Page 1228-1241, 1 March 2026.
Abstract Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are neurodevelopmental pathologies. Investigating both sexes is crucial for understanding sex‐specific manifestations of ASD. This study aims to examine ASD‐like behaviours and metabolic alterations in male and female rats prenatally exposed to valproic acid (VPA).
