Tissue-specific circadian transcriptional regulation

Jake Yeung

Circadian rhythms in physiology and behavior evolved to resonate with daily cycles in the external environment. In mammals, organs orchestrate temporal physiology over the 24-hour day, which requires extensive gene expression rhythms targeted to the right ...

Analysis of U-Shape Patterns in RR-Interval Time Series During Sleep

Jean-Marc Vesin, Grégoire Millet, Sasan Yazdani, Alexandre Thierry Robert Cherqui

The proposed study investigates a phenomenon, defined as "U-patterns", that takes place in the RR-interval time series during sleep. These patterns are defined as a U-shaped decrease-increase in the RR-intervals, with a duration of 20 to 40 seconds with a ...

Spatial clusters of daytime sleepiness and association with nighttime noise levels in a Swiss general population (GeoHypnoLaus)

Stéphane Joost, Idris Guessous, Rebecca Himsl

INTRODUCTION: Daytime sleepiness is highly prevalent in the general adult population and has been linked to an increased risk of workplace and vehicle accidents, lower professional performance and poorer health. Despite the established relationship between ...

Can Daytime Napping Assist the Process of Skills Acquisition After Stroke?

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Winifried Backhaus

Acquisition and reacquisition of skills is a main pillar of functional recovery after stroke. Nighttime sleep has a positive influence on motor learning in healthy individuals, whereas the effect of daytime sleep on neuro-rehabilitative training and relear ...

Sleep: An Open-Source Python Software for Visualization, Analysis, and Staging of Sleep Data

Christian O'Reilly, Raphaël Vallat

We introduce Sleep, a new Python open-source graphical user interface (GUI) dedicated to visualization, scoring and analyses of sleep data. Among its most prominent features are: (1) Dynamic display of polysomnographic data, spectrogram, hypnogram and topo ...

Cholinergic, Glutamatergic, and GABAergic Neurons of the Pedunculopontine Tegmental Nucleus Have Distinct Effects on Sleep/Wake Behavior in Mice

The pedunculopontine tegmental (PPT) nucleus has long been implicated in the regulation of cortical activity and behavioral states, including rapid eye-movement (REM) sleep. For example, electrical stimulation of the PPT region during sleep leads to rapid ...
