How Smart Is It to Go to Bed with the Phone? The Impact of Short-Wavelength Light and Affective States on Sleep and Circadian Rhythms

Clocks & Sleep, 2021
Previously, we presented our preliminary results (N = 14) investigating the effects of short-wavelength light from a smartphone during the evening on sleep and circadian rhythms (Höhn et al., 2021).

Impact of Age on the Diagnostic Yield of Routine EEG in People With Childhood or Juvenile Absence Epilepsy: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background We aimed to identify the proportion of individuals with a confirmed diagnosis of childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) or juvenile absence epilepsy (JAE) who show a negative routine EEG (rEEG), and to determine the main factors associated with this finding.

Binaural beats at 0.25 Hz shorten the latency to slow-wave sleep during daytime naps

Scientific Reports
Binaural beats can entrain neural oscillations and modulate behavioral states. However, the effect of binaural beats, particularly those with slow frequencies (

Increased Stability and Breakdown of Brain Effective Connectivity During Slow-Wave Sleep: Mechanistic Insights from Whole-Brain Computational Modelling

Scientific Reports, 2017
Recent research has found that the human sleep cycle is characterised by changes in spatiotemporal patterns of brain activity. Yet, we are still missing a mechanistic explanation of the local neuronal dynamics underlying these changes.

Sleep Disturbances in Rats With Genetic Pre-disposition to Spike-Wave Epilepsy (WAG/Rij)

Frontiers in Neurology, 2021
Wistar Albino Glaxo Rijswijk (WAG/Rij) rats are widely used in basic and pre-clinical studies as a valid genetic model of absence epilepsy. Adult WAG/Rij rats exhibit generalized 8–10-Hz spike-wave discharges (SWDs) in the electroencephalogram.

Individuals With Multijoint Osteoarthritis Demonstrate Larger Longitudinal Declines in Frailty: Data From the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that multijoint osteoarthritis would modify the relation between time and frailty progression, in which more affected joints would lead to larger declines over six years compared to those without osteoarthritis using data from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging.

The Alzheimer’s Pathways Sleep Study (ALPS): an experimental randomized controlled trial to improve cognition and Alzheimer’s pathophysiology through slow-wave sleep

Trials
Background Slow-wave activity (0.5–4 Hz electroencephalographic activity) during non-rapid eye movement sleep is consistently associated with better cognitive performance in older adults.

Acute Social Defeat Stress Increases Sleep in Mice

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
Social conflict is a major source of stress in humans. Animals also experience social conflicts and cope with them by stress responses that facilitate arousal and activate sympathetic and neuroendocrine systems.
