    Dysfunctions of the paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus induce hypersomnia in mice

    Chang-Rui Chen, Yu-Heng Zhong ... Zhi-Li Huang
    The paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus is essential for physiologic arousal and the pathogenesis underlying hypersomnolence disorder.

    The sleep-wake distribution contributes to the peripheral rhythms in PERIOD-2

    Marieke MB Hoekstra, Maxime Jan ... Paul Franken
    Sleep-wake patterns, together with a suprachiasmatic nuclei-independent circadian factor, are necessary and sufficient to maintain high-amplitude nychthemeral rhythms in PERIOD-2.

    Can sleep protect memories from catastrophic forgetting?

    Oscar C González, Yury Sokolov ... Maxim Bazhenov
    Computational modeling predicts that sleep replay plays a protective role against catastrophic forgetting by revealing synaptic mechanisms allowing overlapping populations of neurons to store multiple interfering memories.

    An open-source, high-performance tool for automated sleep staging

    Raphael Vallat, Matthew P Walker
    A robust automatic sleep-staging algorithm offers a high level of accuracy matching that of typical human interscorer agreement.

    Analysis of stochastic fluctuations in responsiveness is a critical step toward personalized anesthesia

    Andrew R McKinstry-Wu, Andrzej Z Wasilczuk ... Alexander Proekt
    Responses to anesthetics differ among individuals and fluctuate stochastically despite constant drug concentration, however, the amount of noise driving transitions between the responsive and the unresponsive state is conserved.

    GABA neurons in the ventral tegmental area regulate non-rapid eye movement sleep in mice

    Srikanta Chowdhury, Takanori Matsubara ... Akihiro Yamanaka
    Functional identification of GABAergic neurons in the ventral tegmental area as a important neuronal subpopulation regulating non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep in mice.

    A transient postnatal quiescent period precedes emergence of mature cortical dynamics

    Soledad Domínguez, Liang Ma ... Jennifer N Gelinas
    Maturation of cortical network dynamics is characterized by a nadir that signals the shift from local, loosely correlated, prominently sensory-driven patterns to internally organized, spatially distributed, and temporally precise activity.

    Imaging microglia surveillance during sleep-wake cycles in freely behaving mice

    Xiaochun Gu, Zhong Zhao ... Heping Cheng
    Using long-term in vivo imaging with miniature two-photon microscopy, microglia surveillance is sleep state-dependent and stress-induced in freely behaving mice, regulated by the locus coeruleus-norepinephrine system and β2-adrenergic receptors signaling.

    Acute control of the sleep switch in Drosophila reveals a role for gap junctions in regulating behavioral responsiveness

    Michael Troup, Melvyn HW Yap ... Bruno van Swinderen
    Optogenetic activation reveals a larger role for the fly brain 'sleep switch' neurons in controlling both waking and sleeping behavioral responsiveness, partly via a parallel channel involving innexin6 electrical synapses.

    Uncovering temporal structure in hippocampal output patterns

    Kourosh Maboudi, Etienne Ackermann ... Caleb Kemere
    Machine learning models of coordinated hippocampal ensemble activity during sharp wave ripple activity encode structure that mirrors the place cell map expressed during exploration, and enable a new paradigm for analyzing and understanding this offline activity.
