Article Abstract
Objective: Insufficient sleep is linked to several health problems. Previous studies on the effects of sleep deprivation on cortical excitability using conventional transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) included a limited number of modalities, and few inter-stimulus intervals (ISIs) and showed conflicting results. This study aimed to investigate the effects of sleep deprivation on cortical excitability through threshold-tracking TMS, using a wide range of protocols at multiple ISIs.
Methods: Fifteen healthy subjects (mean age ± SD: 36 ± 3.34 years) were included. The following tests were performed before and after 24 h of sleep deprivation using semi-automated threshold-tacking TMS protocols: short-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI) and intracortical facilitation (ICF) at 11 ISIs between 1 and 30 ms, short interval intracortical facilitation (SICF) at 14 ISIs between 1 and 4.9 ms, long interval intracortical inhibition (LICI) at 6 ISIs between 50 and 300 ms, and short-latency afferent inhibition (SAI) at 12 ISIs between 16 and 30 ms.
Results: No significant differences were observed between pre- and post-sleep deprivation measurements for SICI, ICF, SICF, or LICI at any ISIs (p < 0.05). As for SAI, we found a difference at 28 ms (p = 0.007) and 30 ms (p = 0.04) but not at other ISIs.
Conclusions: Sleep deprivation does not affect cortical excitability except for SAI.
Significance: This study confirms some of the previous studies while contradicting others.

Acute sleep deprivation (SD) rapidly alleviates depression, addressing a critical gap in mood disorder treatment. Rapid eye movement SD (REM SD) modulates the excitability of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) neurons, influencing the synaptic plasticity of pyramidal neurons. However, the precise mechanism remains undefined.

Background: Affective disorders represent a major global health burden. Animal models are widely used for modeling brain disorders and neuroactive drug discovery. A novel powerful tool in translational neuroscience research, zebrafish provide multiple behavioral assays relevant to anxiety-like and depression-related conditions (including despair-like behavior, a common feature in depression).

Sleep deprivation (SD) is a major contributor to cognitive impairment, often accompanied by central neuroinflammation and gut microbiota dysbiosis. The tryptophan (TRP) pathway, activated via indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), serves as a critical link between immune activation and neuronal damage. Umbelliferone (UMB), a naturally occurring coumarin compound, possesses anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and microbiota-modulating properties.

Consistent sleep patterns are associated with better cardiovascular health, while sleep loss is known to impair vascular function. This study examined whether consistent sleep could improve vascular function and mitigate the negative effect of 25-hour total sleep deprivation. Sixteen healthy adults (10 females, 6 males; 34 ± 9 years; BMI: 25 ± 3 kg/m²) completed a randomized crossover study involving two 12-night sleep conditions, habitual sleep and a consistent sleep/wake schedule that were separated by a 1-2-week washout.
