1542-唤醒激活神经元对睡眠驱动的调节机制
from 聊聊Sci
这项研究通过对小鼠的全脑活动绘图，识别出了调节睡眠压力的关键神经元群体。研究人员发现，位于中缝中核 (MR) 和前内侧视前区 (aMPO) 的神经元会在动物清醒时逐渐激活，其活动强度直接对应睡眠需求的积累。实验证明，化学遗传学激活这些神经元会诱导深度睡眠，而抑制它们则能显著减少睡眠总量并消除睡眠剥夺后的反弹效应。特别是在中缝中核，GABA能和血清素能神经元的协同作用对维持睡眠稳态至关重要。令人惊讶的是，即使长期剥夺小鼠近 70% 的睡眠，大部分实验对象仍能维持正常的认知功能和高唤醒状态，且未表现出严重的行为缺陷。这一发现揭示了大脑产生“困意”的核心电路机制，并为研究睡眠剥夺的复原力提供了新视角。References:Joo W, Diester C, Bitsikas V, et al.

Deep Dream State
Neural Nets And Pretty Patterns
Deep Dream State is a full-cast dystopian sci-fi and desire horror audio drama by Neural Nets and Pretty Patterns. As the originating work of desire horror, it locates the uncanny inside wanting itself. While conventional horror positions you against a threat, desire horror implicates you in it. The horror emerges from recognition: the realization of why characters stay, and why surrender feels like relief. Since 2017, the show has used research in dream science, surveillance studies, behavioral economics, and advertising technology to examine systems of control through immersive sound design and full-cast performance.
