A Chronic Sleep Fragmentation Model using Vibrating Orbital Rotor to Induce Cognitive Deficit and Anxiety-Like Behavior in Young Wild-Type Mice
Published on: September 22, 2020
Abstract:
Sleep, a natural alteration in consciousness, is increasingly difficult to achieve for more than a third of the U.S. population. Despite breathtaking advances in our understanding of sleep, there remains a considerable need for increased awareness and education concerning this growing public health problem. In November 2011, the National Institutes of Health published a sleep disorders research plan geared toward advancing understanding of sleep disorders and their societal impact, improving treatment of sleep disorders, and recruiting and expanding research in this area. Imaging, with its fast-paced innovations and applications, plays an expanding role in exploring sleep, how it affects the brain, and how lack of sleep can be diagnosed and treated more effectively.

NREM Sleep
NREM sleep comprises four progressive stages that seamlessly merge:
Brain Imaging
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).
