Weeds and agro by-products for sustainable farming of edible field cricket, Gryllus madagascarensis (Orthoptera: Gryllidae).

Gryllus madagascarensis (Orthoptera: Gryllidae) is a cricket species that shows promise to mitigate food insecurity and malnutrition. But whether this species will accept low- to no-cost weeds and agro by-products as feed, and how these feeds affect its performance, remains unknown. This study assessed the acceptability of 66 weed species and agro by-products (derived from a single plant species) by adult G.

Pupillary response to blue light as a biomarker of seasonal pattern in Major Depressive Episode: A clinical study using pupillometry.

Depressive disorders are characterized by disturbances in light signal processing. More specifically, an alteration of the melanopsin response is suggested. The post-illumination pupillary response (PIPR) to blue light (post-blue PIPR) is increasingly used as a marker of the activity of intrinsically photosensitive melanopsin ganglion cells (ipRGCs).

Cinnamaldehyde induces a TRPA1-mediated nociceptive behavior in planarians.

Nociception is defined as "the neural process of encoding noxious stimuli" by the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP). Nociception relies on detecting noxious stimuli arising from a potentially or actually tissue-damaging event via specialized cells called nociceptors. In planarians, nociceptive behavior is often indicated by a 'scrunching' gait, in contrast to the usual gliding behavior displayed in normal conditions.

Effects of Approved Pharmacological Interventions for Insomnia on Mood Disorders: A Systematic Review.

Objective: Insomnia can be a contributing factor, a comorbid disorder, or a transdiagnostic element to several mental disorders, including mood disorders (MDs). A recent meta-analysis has already shown the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral treatment (CBT) for insomnia that is comorbid with MDs. This work aimed to systematically review data on pharmacological insomnia treatment in the context of MDS.

Complete resolution of restless legs syndrome following ischemic stroke of the right middle cerebral artery.

Stroke-related restless legs syndrome (sRLS) is an emerging clinical entity, with a clear relationship between stroke and the occurrence of restless legs syndrome (RLS). Dopamine dysregulation has been observed in sRLS of the lenticulostriate region with increased dopamine precursor and decreased dopamine transporter. The aim of this work is to explore an original case of regressive RLS following stroke.

Prefrontal cortex molecular clock modulates development of depression-like phenotype and rapid antidepressant response in mice.

Depression is associated with dysregulated circadian rhythms, but the role of intrinsic clocks in mood-controlling brain regions remains poorly understood. We found increased circadian negative loop and decreased positive clock regulators expression in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) of a mouse model of depression, and a subsequent clock countermodulation by the rapid antidepressant ketamine. Selective Bmal1KO in CaMK2a excitatory neurons revealed that the functional mPFC clock is an essential factor for the development of a depression-like phenotype and ketamine effects.

States of consciousness and interoceptive hypersensibility: A study in patients with insomnia disorder.

This exploratory study aimed to investigate the relationship between interoceptive sensibility and quality of consciousness in individuals with insomnia disorder, in order to understand how the modulation of internal states may contribute to modifying the experience of consciousness during sleep difficulties. A total of 37 patients with insomnia disorder (mean age = 46.05 ± 18.

Predictive factors of cognitive impairment in alcohol use disorder inpatients.

Background: Cognitive impairments are common in patients with AUD and worsen the prognosis of addiction management. There are no clear guidelines for screening cognitive impairments in hospitalized patients with AUD.

Methods: Fifty-seven patients with an AUD history who were admitted to an acute hospital and assessed by the addiction care team were included.

The 32nd Ion Channels Meeting, 17th-20th September 2023, Sète, France.

The 32nd Ion Channel Meetings were organized by the Ion Channels Association from September 17 to 20, 2023 in the Occitanie region (Sète). Researchers, post-docs and students from France, Europe and non-European countries came together to present and discuss their work on various themes covering the field of neuroscience, stem cells, hypoxia and pathophysiology cardiac. Through the plenary conference given by Professor Emilio Carbone and the 5 conferences organized by the scientific committee, attention was paid this year to autism, neuromotor and cardiac disorders and tumor aggressive processes.

The electroretinography to identify biomarkers of idiopathic hypersomnia and narcolepsy type 1.

Hypersomnia spectrum disorders are underdiagnosed and poorly treated due to their heterogeneity and absence of biomarkers. The electroretinography has been proposed as a proxy of central dysfunction and has proved to be valuable to differentiate certain psychiatric disorders. Hypersomnolence is a shared core feature in central hypersomnia and psychiatric disorders.

Exploring emotional regulation in insomnia with and without major depressive episode.

Previous studies have highlighted the pivotal role of emotional regulation impairment in the progression of depressive and insomnia disorders, individually. Nevertheless, to date, no study has undertaken a direct comparison of the emotional profiles in individuals experiencing insomnia with or without major depressive episode (MDE). In this study, our objective was to closely examine multiple aspects of emotional regulation among individuals experiencing insomnia, with or without concurrent depression.

Modeling longitudinal relationships between sleep disturbances and depressed mood in postpartum: A cross-lagged panel design.

Background: This short communication explores the interrelationships between depressed mood and sleep disturbances in one-year postpartum period.

Methods: Utilizing data from the Interaction of Gene and Environment of Depression during PostPartum Cohort (IGEDEPP) involving 3310 French postpartum women, we employed a cross-lagged panel model (CLPM) to analyze the relationships between these two symptoms, across three time points (immediate postpartum [<1 week after delivery], early postpartum [<2 months after delivery], and late postpartum [2 months to 1 years after delivery]).

Results: Depressed mood significantly influences sleep disturbances in late postpartum (β = 0.

Problematic gaming, psychiatric comorbidities, and adolescence: A systematic review of the literature.

Problematic gaming is particularly prevalent in adolescent and young adult populations. While numerous studies have investigated the psychiatric comorbidities of Internet Gaming Disorder in young adults, few have focused specifically on adolescents who might be especially at risk because developmental particularities related to this developmental period. Here, we conducted a review of the literature, in line with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, in order to highlight the types of psychiatric comorbidities found in adolescents with problematic gaming.

Validation of the French version of the Munich ChronoType questionnaire and associations between chronotype and physiological parameters.

Assessing chronotype is essential in clinical and research environments, but the Munich ChronoType Questionnaire (MCTQ), a widely utilised tool, is not available in French. Therefore, we carried out an observational monocentric study to validate the French MCTQ against the sleep diary for sleep schedules, the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) for chronotype, and polysomnography measures. We utilised the mid-sleep point on free days (MSF), adjusted for sleep debt (MSFsc), to gauge morningness/eveningness.

Behavioral and pharmacological characterization of planarian nociception.

Introduction: Pain mostly arises because specialized cells called nociceptors detect harmful or potentially harmful stimuli. In lower animals with less convoluted nervous system, these responses are believed to be purely nociceptive. Amongst invertebrate animal models, planarians are becoming popular in a wide range of pharmacological and behavioral studies beyond the field of regeneration.

Redefining the relationship in digital care: A qualitative study of the Digital Therapeutic Alliance.

Digital therapeutic programs are emerging almost daily, offering the potential to reduce healthcare access inequalities by providing more flexible and accessible care options. However, as with traditional healthcare, the issue of patient engagement is fundamental, and the latest research have reported that fewer than 30% of users complete these programs in their entirety. Hence, many authors emphasize the importance of studying the role of therapeutic alliances specifically adapted to digital care.

Study of the different sleep disturbances during the prodromal phase of depression and mania in bipolar disorders.

Background: One of the challenges in bipolar disorder (BD) lies in early detection of the illness and its recurrences, to improve prognosis. Sleep disturbances (SD) have been proposed as reliable predictive markers of conversion. While preliminary studies have explored the relationship between SD and the onset of mood episodes, the results remain heterogeneous and a few have specifically examined patients' perception of prodromal symptoms and their progression until the episode occurs.

The PAP-RES algorithm: Defining who, why and how to use positive airway pressure therapy for OSA.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common condition that is increasing in prevalence worldwide. Untreated OSA has a negative impact on health-related quality of life and is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Despite available data suggesting that cardiovascular risk might differ according to clinical phenotypes and comorbidities, current approaches to OSA treatment usually take a "one size fits all" approach.
