Deciphering Insomnia: Benchmarking Automated Sleep Staging Algorithms for Complex Sleep Disorders

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polysomnography (PSG) is essential for diagnosing sleep disorders, but its manual interpretation is labor‐intensive. Automated sleep staging algorithms are promising, yet their utility in complex sleep disorders such as insomnia remains uncertain. This study evaluates five of the most recognised sleep staging classifiers—U‐Sleep, STAGES, GSSC,

NREM Sleep Oscillations Are Associated With Anxiety and Negative Affect in Young Adults

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Non‐rapid eye movement sleep (NREM) oscillations are critical for cognitive and affective processing. While several studies link anxiety and depression symptoms to sleep quality, a critical gap remains in elucidating the role of NREM physiology in sleep‐dependent processing of affect and anxiety symptoms. The goals of the present study were to

An insect †Archaeopteryx: Cretaceous amber fossil elucidates the evolution of complex host detection and ovipositor mechanisms in parasitoid woodwasps (Hymenoptera: Orussoidea)

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, EarlyView.
We describe †Cretovelona orussopteryx n. gen. & sp. from Kachin amber. The fossil is examined with synchrotron scanning and integrated into an existing morphological data set for Orussoidea. This fossil parasitoid wasp displays a unique character combination demonstrating intermediate conditions in evolving the complex features employed in echo ...

The evolution of muscle spindles

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Muscle spindles are stretch‐sensitive mechanoreceptors found in the skeletal muscles of most four‐limbed vertebrates. They are unique amongst sensory receptors in the ability to regulate their sensitivity by contraction of the intrafusal muscle fibres on which the sensory endings lie.

The mechanotransduction protein STOML3 is required for proprioceptor plasticity following peripheral nerve regeneration

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Nerve regeneration is associated with the plasticity of sensory neurons such that even muscle afferents directed to the skin form mechanosensitive receptive fields appropriate for the new target. STOML3 is an essential mechanotransduction component in many cutaneous mechanoreceptors. Here, we asked whether STOML3 is required for functional and

Human brain imaging with high‐density electroencephalography: Techniques and applications

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Recent technological advances have elevated high‐density electroencephalography (hdEEG) to the status of a reliable neuroimaging tool. This technique measures scalp potentials with high temporal resolution, which permits the non‐invasive detection and analysis of neural oscillations.

The effects of local vibration inducing a tonic vibration reflex or movement illusion on acute modulations of corticospinal excitability

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Local vibration (LV) was applied to the tendon of the flexor carpi radialis (FCR) muscle using the same vibration parameters (6 min, 80 Hz frequency, 2 mm amplitude) but with a different visual focus between the two experiments: on the vibrated hand in Experiment 1, or the EMG activity of the vibrated muscle in Experiment 2 (with

Intrinsic properties of spinal motoneurons degrade ankle torque control in humans

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend All motor commands are processed via spinal motoneurons, whose intrinsic electrical properties are adapted by brainstem neuromodulatory inputs. The effects of these neuromodulatory inputs (i.e. persistent inward currents; PICs) must be precisely regulated by inhibitory mechanisms to support the full range of human motor ...
