The Neuroscience

TL;DR

Findings support the idea that sleep disturbance provokes epilepsy in susceptible through inflammatory pathways, and suggest that inflammatory processes can play an important role in epileptogenesis in several ways like pro-inflammatory pathways.

Recurrent Sleep Restriction During Aging Induces Early Recognition Memory Impairment, Neuroinflammation, and Blood–Brain Barrier Dysfunction in Female Wistar Rats

Sleep restriction is associated with neuroinflammation, blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction, and cognitive impairment. Although reduced sleep duration in women is well recognized and the impact of sleep disorders is correlated with a higher incidence of neurodegenerative diseases, its consequences during female aging...

Chronic psychosocial stress: A primary driver of sleep apnea onset in rats and humans.

Poor sleep quality and chronic psychosocial stress are interrelated risk factors for hypertension, metabolic disease, and neuropsychiatric disorders. Sleep apnea (SA) is a respiratory disorder that disrupts sleep, affecting ~1 billion adults worldwide. However, the origins of SA remain incompletely understood. Clinical...

What Is the Role of the Locus Coeruleus in Sleep, Cerebrovascular Control, and Glymphatic Clearance?

The locus coeruleus (LC) has a major role in mechanisms of arousal, attention, and emotional responses. Increasing evidence indicates that the LC also regulates sleep architecture and triggers phasic autonomic and hemodynamic events during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. Ultraslow oscillations of LC activity reduc...
