Article Abstract
Sleep is vital for maintaining physical and mental well-being, impacting cognitive functions like memory and learning through neuroplasticity. Sleep disturbances prevalent in neurological and psychiatric disorders exacerbate cognitive decline, imposing societal burdens. Exploring the relationship between sleep and neuroplasticity elucidates the mechanisms influencing cognition, particularly amidst the prevalent sleep disturbances in these clinical populations. While existing reviews provide valuable insights, gaps remain in understanding the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying sleep and cognitive function. This scoping review aims to investigate the characteristic patterns of sleep parameters and neurochemical biomarkers in reflecting neuroplasticity changes related to neurological and psychiatric disorders and to explore how these markers interact and influence cognition at the molecular level. Studies involving adults and older adults were included, excluding animal models and the paediatric population. Selected studies explored the relationship between sleep parameter or neurochemical biomarker changes and cognitive impairment, reflecting underlying neuroplasticity changes. Peer-reviewed articles, clinical trials, theses, and dissertations in English were included while excluding secondary research and non-peer-reviewed sources. A three-step search strategy was executed following the updated Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for scoping reviews. Published studies were retrieved from nine databases, grey literature, expert recommendations, and hand-searching of the included studies' bibliography. A basic qualitative content synthesis of 34 studies was conducted per JBI's scoping review guidance. Slow-wave and Rapid-Eye Movement sleep, sleep spindles, sleep cycle disruption, K-Complex(KC) density, Hippocampal sEEG, BDNF, IL-6, iNOS mRNA expression, plasma serotonin, CSF Aβ-42, t-tau and p-tau proteins, and serum cortisol revealed associations with cognitive dysfunction. Examining the relationship between sleep parameters, neurochemical biomarkers, and cognitive function reveals neuronal mechanisms that guide potential therapeutic interventions and enhance quality patient care.

Nutritional co-therapy with vitamin D and L-theanine reduces unpredictable mild chronic stress (UCMS) in aged mice by restoring alpha-oscillations, dopamine levels and behavioral improvement.

Late-life depression (LLD) arises from the confluence of neurochemical dysfunction, oxidative stress, and neural network disintegration, presenting a formidable therapeutic challenge. Here, we demonstrated that combined vitamin D (Vit D) and L-theanine (L-thea) administration exerts multimodal neurorestorative effects in an aged murine model of unpredictable chronic mild stress (UCMS), addressing the core triad of LLD pathology: dopaminergic decline, redox imbalance, and thalamocortical dyssynchrony. Using a comprehensive battery of behavioral assays (Open Field Test, Elevated Plus Maze, Hole Board Test, Tail Suspension Test, Forced Swim Test, Sucrose Preference Test), we observed profound anxiogenic and anhedonic phenotypes in the UCMS-exposed mice, accompanied by elevated immobility and suppressed exploratory drive.

Background: Ethanol use is frequently initiated during adolescence, a vulnerable developmental period with a great deal of neuro-remodeling, specially affecting hippocampal integrity, and with a unique sensitivity to drug abuse. Previous data evaluated the neurochemical effects exerted by either ethanol or cocaine alone in the adolescent brain, but few studies measured the combined negative impact of both drugs immediate during adolescence and later following withdrawal and drug re-exposure in adulthood and therefore will be the aim of this study.
Methods: Male and female Sprague-Dawley rats were treated in adolescence with non-contingent paradigms of ethanol, cocaine, their combination or vehicle.

Oil spills represent an underestimated ecotoxicological risk to coastal mammals, particularly regarding dermal exposure to weathered oil fragments (WOFs). In this study, we provide the first comprehensive assessment of the multisystemic biochemical effects triggered by a single dermal exposure to WOFs collected from Brazilian beaches impacted by the 2019 oil spill, regarded as the largest environmental disaster in the recent history of the South Atlantic. To this end, C57BL/6 J mice (both males and females), employed as a translational model for ecotoxicological inferences in marine mammals, were exposed to a WOF dose calculated based on body surface area and evaluated at 24 and 144 h post-exposure.

Heavy metals are a major toxicological concern due to their adverse effects on human health, particularly in children exposed to contaminated areas. This study evaluated biomarkers of exposure in 253 children aged 6 to 12 from Magangue, Achi, and Arjona (Bolivar, Colombia), analyzing their relationship with neurotoxicity and hematological markers. The mean Pb concentrations at the study sites were 1.
