Brain dynamic audio stimulation for subjective sleep disturbances in healthcare professionals: a single-arm pilot feasibility study
BackgroundInsomnia and sleep disturbances are highly prevalent among healthcare professionals and pose risks to patient safety. Brain Dynamic Audio Stimulation (BDAS) is a non-invasive, open-loop auditory intervention intended to facilitate sleep ...

Looking back: tracing the origins of sleep across the animal kingdom
The evolutionary purpose of sleep is an enduring biological mystery of the animal kingdom. Most research to date has investigated the processes that occur during sleep as opposed to why it evolved in the first place, and a recent theory proposes t...

Exploring the differences in neural oscillation mechanisms before and after sleep deprivation
IntroductionSleep deprivation is widespread in modern society and can impair cognitive function and behavioral performance. However, the neural changes associated with individual differences in vulnerability to sleep loss remain unclear, particula...

Melanin-concentrating hormone during lactation: a compensatory role for sleep deprivation?
We propose a novel hypothesis regarding the role of melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) in the medial preoptic area (MPOA) during lactation and its implications for mothers’ sleep patterns. We propose that MCH, with its transient expression in the...

Circadian–immune crosstalk in insomnia disorder: mechanisms and therapeutic implications
Insomnia disorder (ID) is a common sleep–wake disorder characterized by persistent difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep, early-morning awakening, or non-restorative sleep, accompanied by daytime functional impairment. ID has traditionally be...

Synaptic output from suprachiasmatic nucleus cholecystokinin neurons regulates locomotor rhythmicity
BackgroundThe mammalian suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) serves as the master circadian pacemaker, which coordinates daily behavioral and physiological rhythms through functionally diverse neuronal subtypes. Cholecystokinin (CCK) is expressed in a su...
