Such a cool study! participants sleeping with open eyue to enable pupil tracking 👀congrats @Manu_C_D, @lustenca @anita_luthi and team: nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Pupil size reveals arousal level fluctuations in human sleep

Nature Communications - Arousal levels regulate sleep, but accurate noninvasive measures are lacking. Here, a novel method is introduced to track pupil-indexed arousal levels during human sleep,...

Replying to @LabLuthi
@LabLuthi uncovers a dual role of #locus @coeruleus in #sleep -> 1) its strict gatekeeper role for the sleep cycle 2) the partial brain-body arousals it generates. Powerful minds behind all this: @alejandrosoriof @GFoustoukos @CardisRomain nature.com/articles/s41593-0…

Nature Neuroscience - Lüthi and colleagues show that activity of the locus coeruleus (LC) is crucial for the cyclic alternation between non-rapid-eye-movement and rapid-eye-movement sleep....

Our new study reports the activity of Hypocretin/Orexin neurons during sleep and how their absence deregulates the noradrenergic system: “Hypothalamic control of noradrenergic neurons stabilizes sleep” biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Hypothalamic control of noradrenergic neurons stabilizes sleep

Hypocretin/orexin neurons are essential to stabilize sleep, but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. We report that hypocretin neurons of the perifornical hypothalamus are highly active during...

Wird das Gehirn während des Tiefschlafs mit leisen Tönen stimuliert, verbessert sich die Herzfunktion deutlich. Das könnte unter anderem bei Herzkreislauferkrankungen und für Leistungssportler:innen interessant sein, wie eine neue Studie aufzeigt. brnw.ch/21wDdZ2

Awesome paper alert. GABA becomes depolarizing during sleep. The longer the wake epoch the more depolarizing GABA is, leading to increased slow wave amplitude🤯
