It has been confirmed that sleep has a key role in learning and memory. Our previous study indicated that paradoxical sleep deprivation (PSD) impairs spatial learning ability of rats, and the decrease in membrane excitability of CA1 pyramidal neurons contributes to deficits in performing a spatial learning task. To investigate the further ionic mechanisms, the persistent sodium currents (I(NaP)), the hyperpolarization-activated cation current (I(h)), and their roles in neuron excitability were detected. PSD decreased I(NaP) and suppressed spike ADP, which leads to the reduction of neuron excitability and to the increase of firing accommodation. In addition, PSD reduced the I(h) amplitude and the rebound excitability of CA1 pyramidal neurons. The results of the present study suggested that I(h) and I(NaP) contributed to the inhibitory effect of PSD on neuron excitability, further influencing learning and memory processing. Modulating the ion channels and increasing the membrane excitability of hippocampal neurons are possible targets for preventing the effects of paradoxical sleep deprivation.

Background: Mobile devices for remote monitoring are inevitable tools to support treatment and patient care, especially in recurrent diseases such as major depressive disorder. The aim of this study was to learn if machine learning (ML) models based on longitudinal speech data are helpful in predicting momentary depression severity. Data analyses were based on a dataset including 30 inpatients during an acute depressive episode receiving sleep deprivation therapy in stationary care, an intervention inducing a rapid change in depressive symptoms in a relatively short period of time.

Background: Epidemiologic researches show that short sleep duration may affect feeding behaviors resulting in higher energy intake and increased risk of obesity, but the further mechanisms that can interpret the causality remain unclear. The circadian rhythm is fine-tuned by the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) as the master clock, which is essential for driving rhythms in food intake and energy metabolism through neuronal projections to the arcuate nucleus (ARC) and paraventricular nucleus (PVN).
Results: We showed that chronic SD-induced aberrant expressions of AgRP/NPY and POMC attributed to compromised JAK/STAT3 signals and reduced energy expenditure in the mice, which can be rescued with AAV-genetic overexpression of BMAL1 into SCN.
Sleep deprivation activated AMPK/FOXO3a signaling mediates pineal autophagy impairment to reduce melatonin secretion in CUMS + SD rats leading to depression combined with insomnia.

This study established an animal model of comorbid depression and insomnia by combining chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) with sleep deprivation (SD). The pathogenesis of comorbid depression and insomnia may be associated with impaired AMPK/FOXO3a signaling, which mediates autophagy inhibition, leading to decreased pineal melatonin secretion. The findings revealed that CUMS + SD rats exhibited more pronounced depression-like behaviors, sleep disorders, increased central oxidative stress, and exacerbated neuroinflammation, accompanied by reduced levels of 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HT) and melatonin in the pineal gland.

Aim: This study aimed to explore whether sleep deprivation influences ejaculation regulation through amyloid-beta and to investigate its potential mechanisms.
Materials And Methods: Normal ejaculating rats were randomly distributed into three separate groups for the study, and treated with sleep deprivation combined with saline gavage, sleep deprivation combined with sodium butyrate gavage, and control with saline gavage.
