Modeling circadian and sleep-homeostatic effects on short-term interval timing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Short-term interval timing i.e., perception and action relating to durations in the seconds range, has been suggested to display time-of-day as well as wake dependent fluctuations due to circadian and sleep-homeostatic changes to the rate at which an ...

An Activity‐Dependent NEPAS–PTX3 Axis Links Neurovascular and Myelin Deficits to Cognitive Impairment

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
An activity‐dependent pathway links prefrontal circuit hypoactivity to cognitive impairment. Reduced PVA–mPFC activity upregulates NEPAS, which suppresses PTX3 secretion, leading to impaired angiogenesis, myelin deficits, and memory decline. Rescue is achieved by NEPAS knockdown or chemogenetic circuit activation.

Homeostatic plasticity in patients with disorders of consciousness detected by combined stimulation: a study protocol

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology
BackgroundNon-invasive neuromodulation (NIN) techniques have been widely utilized in treating patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC), but their therapeutic effects have been inconsistent.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Emerging Treatments Targeting the Genioglossus Muscle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by repetitive episodes of upper airway obstruction caused by a loss of upper airway dilator muscle tone during sleep and an inadequate compensatory response by these muscles in the context of an anatomically

Engineering Approaches to Modify Immunomodulatory Functions of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs): Tissue Regeneration and Clinical Application

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) show promise for treating immune‐related disorders through immunomodulation and tissue regeneration. This review gives a brief overview of current clinical approval of MSC therapies. It also discussed how bioengineering, including genetic modification, biomaterial delivery, extracellular vesicles, and iPSC‐derived MSCs,

Transcriptomic and Neuroimaging Decoding of Brain‐Immune Crosstalk in Thyroid Eye Disease

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study employed an imaging transcriptomics framework integrating resting‐state fMRI with Allen Human Brain Atlas transcriptomic data, coupled with peripheral blood RNA sequencing, to decode brain‐immune crosstalk in thyroid eye disease. Frontal, parietal, subcortical, and brainstem regions were identified as key neuroimmune‐ vulnerable regions ...

Perception of diagnosis by family caregivers in severe brain injury patients in China

open access: yesBMC Palliative Care
Objectives Surrogate decision-making by family caregivers for patients with severe brain injury is influenced by the availability and understanding of relevant information and expectations for future rehabilitation. We aimed to compare the consistency of

Schooling Trajectories and the Development of Brain Dynamics: A Comparative Study of Montessori and Traditional Education

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We investigate whether Montessori and traditional schooling systems shape the developmental trajectory of large‐scale brain dynamics in different ways. We quantify the arrow of time (“non‐reversibility”) in neural activity during resting state and movie‐watching, revealing distinct maturational patterns.

Hypocretins, sleep, and maternal behavior

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2023
The postpartum period is a demanding time during which mothers experience numerous physiological adaptations that enable them to care for their offspring while maintaining their wellbeing. Hypocretins, also known as orexins, are neuropeptides synthesized
