Exercise modulates novelty-related behavior and hippocampal calcium activity after sleep deprivation
Sleep plays a vital role in maintaining neural plasticity and cognitive performance. Increasing evidence suggests that sleep deprivation (SD) disrupts synaptic homeostasis, impairs hippocampus-dependent learning, and modifies various neural activi...

Artificial intelligence for nocturnal oximetry-based diagnosis of OSAS in children younger than 2 years: time to end the polysomnography monocracy?
The convolutional neural network architecture approach has been applied successfully in children older than 2 years with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) symptoms. It provides an alternative to polysomnography (PSG) by enabling analysis of the noc...

Not just a covariate: circadian photoreception varies by age and sex
Non-visual responses to environmental light influence human physiology and behavior and are an emerging marker of circadian health. Non-visual light is captured by specialized photoreceptors in the retina: intrinsically photosensitive retinal gang...

Hypothalamic volume reduction in adult patients with narcolepsy type 1
AbstractStudy ObjectivesNarcolepsy-type 1 (NT1) is a neurological sleep disorder, characterized by a loss of orexin-producing cells in the posterior hypothalamus. These neurons are approximately 70 000 but have large orexin-containing projections ...
