Aberrant Resting-State Functional Brain Connectivity of Insular Subregions in Obstructive Sleep Apnea
The insular cortex is a cortical regulatory area involved in dyspnea, cognition, emotion, and sensorimotor function. Previous studies reported that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) shows insular tissue damage and abnormal functional connections for t...

The Suprachiasmatic Nucleus Regulates Anxiety-Like Behavior in Mice
Individuals suffering from mood and anxiety disorders often show significant disturbances in sleep and circadian rhythms. Animal studies indicate that circadian rhythm disruption can cause increased depressive- and anxiety-like behavior, but the u...

Effects of Cage Position and Light Transmission on Home Cage Activity and Circadian Entrainment in Mice
Light is known to exert powerful effects on behavior and physiology, including upon the amount and distribution of activity across the day/night cycle. Here we use home cage activity monitoring to measure the effect of differences in home cage lig...

Sleep Quality and Electroencephalogram Delta Power
Delta activity on electroencephalogram (EEG) is considered a biomarker of homeostatic sleep drive. Delta power is often associated with sleep duration and intensity. Here, we reviewed the literature to explore how sleep quality was influenced by c...
