Given the critical window for neuroplasticity and neuro-functional changes that occur during stages of adolescence, we hypothesized that CBD might influence the sleep-wake cycle in adult rats after their exposure to CBD during the adolescence.Objectives Here, we investigated the effects upon behavior ...
Whereas the long version of the CAM retrieves delirium with ten items (acute change in mental status, inattention, altered level of consciousness, disorganized thinking, memory impairment, perceptual disturbances, psychomotor agitation, psychomotor retardation, altered sleep-wake-cycle), the short and ...
Sleep-wake patterns were recorded in a genetic mouse model of obesity and diabetes, the db/db mouse, which harbors a mutation in a particular isoform of the leptin receptor (long form, LRb). We found that db/db mice exhibit a variety of alterations in sleep regulation, including an ...
altered hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis function serves as an endogenous controller of inflammation in nocturnal asthma.Patients with nocturnal asthma (n = 7), patients with nonnocturnal asthma (n = 13), and healthy control subjects (n = 11) adhered to a regular sleep-wake cycle for 1 ...
patterns in the first years of life change rapidly as infants transition from sleeping around the clock to a more adult-like sleep/wake cycle. Until further research is completed, Estes said, it is not possible to interpret challenges with sleep as an early sign of increased risk for autism....
A main advantage of this "dim light at night" (dLAN) approach is that, under these conditions, animals remain synchronised to a 24-hour cycle, allowing the investiga- tion of any putative changes in diel timing relative to an external light-dark cycle. Prolonged exposure to dLAN promotes ...
The aim of this study was to investigate whether any alteration of 5-hydroxytryptamine-3 (5-HT 3 ) receptor functions on the sleep–wake cycle, motor activity, and quantitative EEG could be detected 6months after a single dose of 15mg/kg of MDMA. The selective 5-HT 3 receptor agonist m...
Treatment of acute delirium is focused on treatment of the underlying condition and protecting the patient from self-harm and falls. Improving the sleep/wake cycle, ambulation and dexmedetomidine, which helps with sleep/wake cycle, are the only therapies repeatedly shown...
Studies of sleep EEG in space have found a reduction of time spent in SWS3,6 and a redistribution of SWS from the first to the second sleep cycle5,14. Although Dijk et al.3, reported a decrease in SWS in the final third of the sleep episode, the present study found no difference in...
