Polygenic predisposition, #sleep duration, and #depression: evidence from a prospective population-based cohort
Suboptimal sleep durations and depression frequently cooccur. Short-sleep and long-sleep are commonly thought of as symptoms of depression, but a growing literature suggests that they may be prodromal. While each represents a process of mutual influence, the directionality between them remains unclear. Using polygenic scores (PGS), we investigate the prospective direction involved in suboptimal sleep… Continue reading Polygenic predisposition, #sleep duration, and #depression: evidence from a prospective population-based cohort
The endocannabinoid N-arachidonoyl dopamine is critical for #hyperalgesia induced by chronic #sleep disruption
Chronic pain is highly prevalent and is linked to a broad range of comorbidities, including sleep disorders. Epidemiological and clinical evidence suggests that chronic sleep disruption (CSD) leads to heightened pain sensitivity, referred to as CSD-induced hyperalgesia. However, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. The thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN) has unique integrative functions in sensory processing,… Continue reading The endocannabinoid N-arachidonoyl dopamine is critical for #hyperalgesia induced by chronic #sleep disruption
