If protein synthesis during sleep is required for sleep-dependent memory consolidation, we might expect rates of cerebral protein synthesis (rCPS) to increase during sleep in the local brain circuits that support performance on a particular task following training on that task. To measure circuit-specific brain protein synthesis during a daytime na...

In this supplemental analysis, in which subjects not trained on the task were studied awake and during sleep, the corresponding simple effect of hemisphere was not significant either for the wakefulness scan (F 1,14 = 0.69, p = 0.42, f 2 = 0.05) or for the sleep scan (F 1,14 = 0.86, p = 0.37, f 2 = 0.06) (Figure 7). ...

Sleep and memory processing impairments range from mild to severe in the psychosis spectrum. Relationships between memory processing and sleep characteristics have been described for schizophrenia, including unaffected first-degree relatives, but they are less clear across other high-risk groups within the psychosis spectrum. In this study, we inve...

Traffic congestion is an increasing problem in most cities around the world. It impacts businesses as well as commuters, small cities and large ones in developing as well as developed economies. One approach to decrease urban traffic congestion is to optimize the traffic signal behaviour in order to be adaptive to changes in the traffic conditions....
This study examined time-dependent effects of discrete emotions on item and source memory. In Experiment 1, after encoding, participants watched a comic, disgust-inducing, anger-inducing or neutral video at different delays. Positive emotion did not affect item memory but enhanced source memory (only in the 5 min delay). Anger impaired recognition...
Healthy humans switch seamlessly between activity states, wake up and fall asleep with regularity, and cycle through sleep stages necessary for restored homeostasis and memory consolidation each night. This study tested the hypothesis that such smooth behavioral transitions are accompanied by smooth transitions between stable neural states within t...
Decades of neurobehavioral research has linked sleep-associated rhythms in various brain areas to improvements in cognitive performance. However, it remains unclear what synaptic changes might underlie sleep-dependent declarative memory consolidation and procedural task improvement, and why these same changes appear not to occur across a similar in...

During sleep, reduced brain energy demands provide an opportunity for biosynthetic processes like protein synthesis. Sleep is required for some forms of memory consolidation which requires de novo protein synthesis. We measured regional cerebral protein synthesis rates (rCPS) in human subjects to ascertain how rCPS is affected during sleep. Subjects underwent three consecutive L-[1- ¹¹ C]leucine PET scans with simultaneous polysomnography: 1. rested awake, 2. sleep-deprived awake, 3. sleep. Measured rCPS were similar across the three conditions. Variations in sleep stage times during sleep scans were used to estimate rCPS in sleep stages under the assumption that measured rCPS is the weighted sum of rCPS in each stage, with weights reflecting time and availability of [ ¹¹ C]leucine in that stage. During sleep scans, subjects spent most of the time in N2, N3, and awake and very little time in N1 and REM; rCPS in N1 and REM could not be reliably estimated. When stages N1 and N2 were combined [N1,N2], estimates of rCPS were more robust. In selective regions, estimated rCPS were statistically significantly higher (30–39%) in [N1,N2] compared with N3; estimated rCPS in N3 were similar to values measured in sleep-deprived awake scans. Results indicate increased rates of protein synthesis linked to [N1,N2] sleep.
Serum tyrosine levels increase during aging, neurocognitive, metabolic, and cardiovascular disorders. However, calorie restriction (CR) and sleep lower serum tyrosine levels. We previously showed that tyrosine inhibits tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase (TyrRS)-mediated activation of poly-ADP-ribose polymerase 1 (PARP1). Here, we show that histone serine-ADP-ribosylation is decreased in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) brains, and increased tyrosine levels deplete TyrRS and cause neuronal DNA damage. However, dopamine and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) increase TyrRS and histone serine-ADP-ribosylation. Furthermore, cis -resveratrol ( cis -RSV) that binds to TyrRS mimicking a ‘tyrosine-free’ conformation increases TyrRS, facilitates histone serine-ADP-ribosylation-dependent DNA repair, and provides neuroprotection in a TyrRS-dependent manner. Conversely, trans -RSV that binds to TyrRS mimicking a ‘tyrosine-like’ conformation decreases TyrRS, inhibits serine-ADP-ribosylation-dependent DNA repair, and induces neurodegeneration in rat cortical neurons. Our findings suggest that age-associated increase in serum tyrosine levels may effect neurocognitive and metabolic disorders and offer a plausible explanation for divergent results obtained in clinical trials using resveratrol.
