Latency to the loss of righting reflex and sleeping time after ketamine were measured in 261 rats aged 7, 12, 18, 25 and 90 days. The sensitivity to ketamine was highest in 7-day-old animals and decreased with age. In the youngest group rats slept after the 20-mg/kg dose whereas not all adult animals lost their righting ability after a dose of 160 mg/kg. Electrocorticographic (ECoG) study demonstrated an age dependence of changes induced by ketamine. The youngest group exhibited only suppression of the originally discontinuous ECoG whereas signs of slow-wave sleep or depression appeared in older rats.

Assessing Caregiver Burden, Tasks, and Heart Rate Using Wearable Sensors: A Longitudinal Study of Informal Caregivers of Persons With Dementia and Older Adults.

Graduate School of Medicine, Mie University, Tsu, JPN.
Purpose In recent years, research on caregivers has highlighted the importance of integrating advanced technologies, such as wearable devices. Furthermore, when investigating the characteristics of persons with dementia (PWD), comparative analyses should be conducted based on the presence or absence of the condition. We aimed to elucidate the relationship between caregivers' subjective burdens, tasks, and heart rate (HR) using wearable sensors to objectively assess the health status of caregivers of PWD and older adults requiring long-term care.

Gaucher's disease (GD) is a genetic disease characterized by a mutation in the metabolic enzyme glucocerebrosidase (GBA1), leading to the accumulation of glucosylceramide in tissues. We previously discovered that a -inserted mutation in the gene of fruit flies, , mimics human neuronopathic GD (nGD) characteristics, providing a promising model for studying the molecular mechanisms of the disease. We also reported that extremely low-frequency electric fields (ELF-EFs) promote sleep and extend the lifespan of wild-type flies.
