Dexmedetomidine accelerates photoentrainment and affects sleep structure through the activation of SCN neurons.

Commun Biol

December 2024

Department of Physiology, School of Basic Medical Sciences, Anhui Medical University, Hefei, 230032, Anhui, China.

Dexmedetomidine (DexM), a highly selective α-adrenoceptor agonist, significantly reduces postoperative adverse effects, including sleep and circadian rhythm disruptions. Vasoactive intestinal peptide neurons in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) regulate the synchronization of circadian rhythms with the external environment in mammals. We investigate the effects of DexM on sleep and circadian rhythms, as well as the underlying mechanisms.

Departments of Anesthesiology and Critical Care, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.

Introduction: Psychedelic-induced experiences are thought to play an important role in the therapeutic actions of rapid-acting antidepressants. General anesthesia is one scenario in which patients can be rendered unconscious and masked to the psychedelic treatment, providing a simple yet effective method to examine drug-induced changes in the brain devoid of experiences.

Methods: Chronically stressed adult C57/BL6 male mice were given subhypnotic ketamine alone or ketamine and GABAergic anesthetic isoflurane at sedative (0.
