Sleep is essential for the development of the infant brain. A new study led by researchers at @UNC_CBP, shows how sleep loss impacts brain development and may play a role in increasing one's risk of developing #Autism spectrum disorder. ow.ly/8b4w50TRZRw

Thanks to Cohen lab and @Diering_Lab for a great joint lab retreat yesterday! We did a @nightsciencepod workshop on the creative process in science, followed by a picnic and paddle boarding at Jordan lake

At the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the US, Dr Graham Diering and Dr Shenée Martin are looking at the #biomolecular and #neurological changes that happen when our #sleep is disrupted, and whether this could be a trigger for the development of #Alzheimer’s. futurumcareers.com/the-links…

I am excited to share our newest preprint! Led by Sean Gay @SeanMGay, we take a dive into the synaptic function of sleep and consequence of sleep loss across development #Synapse-#BrainDevelopment: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 1/10

Synapses are uniquely vulnerable to sleep loss during brain development while maturation confers...

Sleep supports lifelong brain health and cognition. Sleep loss in early life can drive lasting changes in adult behavior, indicating sleep plays a distinct but poorly understood role in brain...

Our study suggests that sleep performs distinct functions at different stages of the lifespan. Sleep supports brain growth in early life, transitioning to homeostatic functions with maturation. 9/10

This week on social media, researchers discussed research on sensory issues in fragile X mice. That and more in this week's Community Newsletter. bit.ly/3OC6IMh

What do we find? 1. The onset of sleep disruption occurs early in AD and is a precursor for cognitive decline 2. Sleep disruption is independent of synaptic tau pathology 3. Synaptic and behavioral response to sleep disruption differs in males and females
