Background: Alzheimer's Disease(AD) patients experience circadian rhythm disorder. The circadian rhythm is synchronized by a master clock, the suprachiasmatic nucleus(SCN), which is spatially well-conserved but a tiny nucleus in the hypothalamus. Little is known about the molecular and pathological changes that occur in the SCN during AD progression.

Background: Neuromodulatory subcortical systems (NSS) are affected from the early stages of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) by the accumulation of tau pathology. Increased tau burden within the subcortical nucleus that are in control of sleep and wake regulation may contribute to the breakdown of sleep-wake patterns in AD. A recent postmortem study showed that subcortical wake-promoting neurons were related to sleep phenotypes in AD and PSP, being that greater neuronal count in locus coeruleus (LC), tuberomammillary nucleus (TMN), and lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) associated with a decreased sleep drive (Oh et al.

Maternal immune activation (MIA), a maternal stressor, increases risk for neuropsychiatric diseases, such as Major Depressive Disorder in offspring. MIA of toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) initiates an immune response in mother and fetuses in a sex-selective manner. The paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN), a brain region that is sexually dimorphic and regulates hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) stress responses, have been tied to stress-related behaviors (i.

Biological ageing can be defined as a gradual loss of homeostasis across various aspects of molecular and cellular function. Mammalian brains consist of thousands of cell types, which may be differentially susceptible or resilient to ageing. Here we present a comprehensive single-cell RNA sequencing dataset containing roughly 1.

Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) is an important stress hormone, and because of the different distributions and functions of its receptors, CRF has various effects on the stress response of animals. CRF receptor 2 (CRFR2) is a functional receptor of CRF that may be related to appetite regulation and sex differences. In this study, male and female C57BL/6 mice were exposed to an ambient temperature of 4 °C, and feed intake were determined.
