Abstract Flickering light stimulation has emerged as a promising non-invasive neuromodulation strategy to alleviate neuropsychiatric disorders. However, the lack of neurochemical underpinning hampered its therapeutic development. Here, we demonstrate that flickering triggered an immediate and sustained increase (up 3 h after flickering) in extracellular adenosine levels primary visual cortex (V1) other brain regions, function frequency intensity, with maximal effects observed at 40 Hz 4000...

Major depressive disorder ranks as a major burden of disease worldwide, yet the current antidepressant medications are limited by frequent non-responsiveness and significant side effects. The lateral septum (LS) is thought to control depression, however, cellular circuit substrates largely unknown. Here, we identified subpopulation LS GABAergic adenosine A

Abstract The glymphatic-lymphatic system is increasingly recognized as fundamental for the homeostasis of brain milieu since it defines cerebral spinal fluid flow in parenchyma and eliminates metabolic waste. Animal human studies have uncovered several important physiological factors regulating glymphatic including sleep, aquaporin-4, hemodynamic factors. Yet, our understanding modulation limited, which has hindered development glymphatic-based treatment aging neurodegenerative disorders....

Optochemistry, an emerging pharmacologic approach in which light is used to selectively activate or deactivate molecules, has the potential alleviate symptoms, cure diseases, and improve quality of life while preventing uncontrolled drug effects. The development in-vivo applications for optochemistry render brain cells photoresponsive without relying on genetic engineering been progressing slowly. nucleus accumbens (NAc) a region regulation slow-wave sleep (SWS) through integration...

Sleep–wake behavior is controlled by a wide range of neuronal populations in the mammalian brain. Although ventral midbrain/pons (VMP) area suggested to participate sleep–wake regulation, mechanisms have remained unclear. Here, we found that nonspecific cell ablation or selective GABAergic neurons expressing diphtheria toxin fragment A VMP male mice induced large increase wakefulness lasted at least 4 weeks. In contrast, dopaminergic had little effect on wakefulness. Chemogenetic inhibition...

Social conflict is a major source of stress in humans. Animals also experience social conflicts and cope with them by responses that facilitate arousal activate sympathetic neuroendocrine systems. The effect acute defeat (SoD) on the sleep/wake behavior mice has been reported several models based resident-intruder paradigm. However, post-SoD effects vary between studies contribution specific response to SoD or non-specific procedure (e.g., sleep deprivation) not well established. In this...
