The relationship between healthy sleep patterns and the risk of scoliosis: a large prospective cohort study
BackgroundCurrently, prospective evidence on how sleep habits specifically affect scoliosis is nearly nonexistent. We therefore sought to clarify the association between comprehensive sleep behavior patterns and the incidence of this disease.Metho...

Impact of C-reactive protein–triglyceride–glucose and systemic immune-inflammation indices on obstructive sleep apnea in older adults with depression
ObjectiveBoth the C-reactive protein (CRP)–triglyceride–glucose index (CTI) and the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) are easily accessible, cost-effective, and rapid indices derived from biochemical examinations. The study aimed to identif...

A data-driven measure of REM sleep propensity for human and rodent sleep
IntroductionMammalian sleep is characterized by alternations between episodes of rapid-eye-movement sleep (REMS) and non-REM sleep (NREMS). The phenomenon of REMS pressure, namely a drive for REMS that builds up between REMS episodes, is thought t...

Divergent dFC stability of DMN and SMN in narcolepsy
Narcolepsy type 1 (NT1) is characterized by profound sleep-wake state instability, pointing to a fundamental dysregulation of large-scale brain network dynamics. To elucidate this, we assessed whole-brain dynamic functional connectivity (dFC) stab...

Efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation for insomnia disorder: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
ObjectiveInsomnia Disorder (ID) is associated with significant health burdens. First-line treatments are limited by accessibility or side effects, necessitating alternative approaches. rTMS, a noninvasive neuromodulation technique, has shown promi...

A novel theory of rapid eye movement sleep as an integral component of the seasonal timekeeping apparatus
Although we have an increasingly sure grasp of much of its proximate circuitry, we continue to lack the ultimate physiological rationale of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. In this paper, we propose that REM sleep derives both its proximate mechani...

Disrupted sleep-wake cycles and circadian rhythms in a Drosophila model of C9orf72-FTD
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects behavior, personality, motor activity, speech, cognition, and sleeping patterns. Previous findings support the idea that disruption of sleep and circadian systems may not o...
