Article Abstract

In this study on healthy male mice using confocal imaging of dye spreading in the brain and its further accumulation in the peripheral lymphatics, we demonstrate stronger effects of photobiomodulation (PBM) on the brain's drainage system in sleeping vs. awake animals. Using the Pavlovian instrumental transfer probe and the 2-objects-location test, we found that the 10-day course of PBM during sleep vs. wakefulness promotes improved learning and spatial memory in mice. For the first time, we present the technology for PBM under electroencephalographic (EEG) control that incorporates modern state of the art facilities of optoelectronics and biopotential detection and that can be built of relatively cheap and commercially available components. These findings open a new niche in the development of smart technologies for phototherapy of brain diseases during sleep.

The meninges, consisting of the dura, arachnoid and pia mater that surround the brain and spinal cord, have been recognized from the earliest anatomical studies. First identified in 1787, lymphatic vessels in the dura are now receiving greater attention as their contribution to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) clearance in diverse neurological conditions is being investigated. New methods have increased the understanding of dural lymphatics, but much is still being learned about their heterogeneity, intracranial and extracranial connections, and factors that govern their functions and maintenance.

Aims: The clusterin (CLU) gene is genetically associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD), and CLU levels have been shown to positively correlate with regional Aβ deposition in the brain, including in arteries from cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) patients. CLU has also been shown to alter the aggregation, toxicity and blood-brain barrier transport of amyloid beta (Aβ) and has therefore been suggested to play a key role in regulating the balance between Aβ deposition and clearance in both the brain and cerebral blood vessels. However, it remains unclear whether the role of clusterin in relation to Aβ deposition is protective or pathogenic.

Background: Blood pressure (BP) is not steady. It varies over intervals from months to consecutive cardiac cycles and this variation contains meaningful information beyond mean BP. Variability over multiple clinic visits (VVV-BP) and during 24-hour ambulatory monitoring (ABPV) is positively related to risk of stroke and coronary artery disease and negatively associated with cognitive performance.
