Cortical neuronal mechanisms of sleep homeostasis.
The longer we are awake, the deeper is our subsequent sleep. On the other hand, the shorter and more fragmented is our sleep, the more difficult it is for us to maintain wakefulness and stable cognitive performance the next day. This relationship between wakefulness and subsequent sleep becomes especially apparent after sleep deprivation or during chronic sleep restriction, which is experienced...
متن کاملCortical Firing and Sleep Homeostasis
The need to sleep grows with the duration of wakefulness and dissipates with time spent asleep, a process called sleep homeostasis. What are the consequences of staying awake on brain cells, and why is sleep needed? Surprisingly, we do not know whether the firing of cortical neurons is affected by how long an animal has been awake or asleep. Here, we found that after sustained wakefulness corti...
متن کاملNeuronal Machinery of Sleep Homeostasis in Drosophila
Sleep is under homeostatic control, but the mechanisms that sense sleep need and correct sleep deficits remain unknown. Here, we report that sleep-promoting neurons with projections to the dorsal fan-shaped body (FB) form the output arm of Drosophila's sleep homeostat. Homeostatic sleep control requires the Rho-GTPase-activating protein encoded by the crossveinless-c (cv-c) gene in order to tra...
متن کاملEna/VASP Proteins Regulate Cortical Neuronal Positioning
Development of the multilayered cerebral cortex involves extensive regulated migration of neurons arising from the deeper germinative layers of the mammalian brain. The anatomy and formation of the cortical layers has been well characterized; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms that control the migration and the final positioning of neurons within the cortex remain poorly understood. H...
متن کاملThe pentapeptide QYNAD does not inhibit neuronal network activity.
BACKGROUND Controversial data was published about the sodium channel-blocking effect of the endogenous pentapeptide QYNAD, which is elevated in patients with multiple sclerosis and Guillain-Barré-syndrome. In some experiments with single cells and nerve preparations QYNAD inhibited sodium currents to the same extent as the known sodium channel blocker lidocaine whereas in other laboratory testi...
