Discoveries in the Identification and Regulation of Neural Circuits Governing Sleep-Wake State Initiation and Maintenance

Organizer: Zhe Zhang, Wei-Min Qu

Introduction: Sleep, a fundamental aspect of human existence, continues to captivate researchers as its underlying mechanisms remain enigmatic. However, recent advancements in techniques such as optogenetics and chemogenetics have provided a breakthrough in understanding the neural circuits involved in sleep and wakefulness. By selectively activating or inhibiting specific neural circuits in animal models, researchers have gained valuable insights into the causal relationship between these circuits and states of wakefulness or sleep. Current investigations are focused on unraveling the distinct populations of neurons within sleep-wake regulatory regions and deciphering their intricate connectivity patterns. This symposium aims to present recent discoveries pertaining to newly identified nuclei responsible for initiating or sustaining arousal or sleep. Additionally, researchers aim to elucidate the projections of these neurons to other brain regions, shedding light on the complex circuitry involved in governing sleep-wake regulation. These recent advancements in understanding the neural circuits for the initiation and maintenance of sleep and wake states have opened up new avenues for research. By gaining a deeper understanding of the intricate interplay between different brain regions and neurotransmitter systems involved in sleep/wake regulation, we can potentially develop novel therapeutic approaches for sleep disorders and improve overall sleep quality.

The goal of our lab is to uncover the neuronal circuitry of sleep-wake states and sleep-preparatory behaviors, and to delineate the mechanisms involved in pathological alterations in these circuits. To accomplish these, we combine innovative techniques to record and manipulate neuronal circuits in rodents, including in-vivo calcium imaging using a head-mounted miniature microscope, fiber-photometry, optogenetics, chemogenetics, and circuit tracing with ethologically-relevant behavioral manipulations.

The investigative focus of our laboratory is the cellular and synaptic basis by which the brain regulates sleep and wakeful consciousness. Our experiments seek to link the activity of defined sets of neurons with neurobehavioral and electroencephalographic outcomes in behaving animals by using innovative genetically or chemically engineered systems (optogenetics, chemogenetics or optopharmacology) in conjunction with recording of the electrical activity produced by the brain or in-vivo imaging (­fiber-optic endomicroscopy). For example, we investigate the control of sleep and wakefulness by the mesolimbic pathway comprising the ventral tegmental area and nucleus accumbens. As the mesolimbic pathway is implicated in motivational and cognitive behaviors, changes in vigilant states are likely associated with the motivational and cognitive responses in animals. Moreover, we are interested in the link between sleep loss and the desire to consume unhealthy foods, i.e. junk foods. We recently found that the loss of REM sleep leads to increased consumption of sucrose and fat and that inhibiting neurons in the medial prefrontal cortex reverses the effect of REM sleep loss on sucrose consumption.

Circadian clock, Suprachiasmatic nucleus, Sleep

Organizer: Ying Xu, Erquan Zhang

Introduction: II. Symposium Summary*: 200 words max- Circadian rhythms in mammalian behavior, including sleep and wakefulness, are primarily controlled by the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). The SCN receives photic information and orchestrates the timing and duration of sleep in response to daily light-dark cycles and photoperiods. By bringing together experts in the field, this symposium aims to shed light on the missing links in the circadian clock-behavioral circuit and promote a deeper understanding of the SCN timekeeping system and sleep. This knowledge may pave the way for innovative approaches to address the timing principle of the circadian pacemaker and its regulation on sleep. This symposium will serve as a platform for collaborative discussions, providing a unique opportunity to bridge gaps in our understanding of the complex interplay between the circadian clock and sleep behavior. We anticipate that the insights shared will significantly contribute to the development of novel strategies to address circadian-related health challenges.

Sleep-Wake Circuits and Memory

Organizer:Min Xu, Zhian Hu

Introduction: Sleep is a fundamental and complex physiological process that influences various aspects of our daily lives. Recent research has unveiled the pivotal role of sleep in the consolidation of memory, which encompasses the stabilization and integration of newly acquired information into long-term memory storage. This symposium will highlight the latest progress and understanding of the role of sleep-wake regulating circuits in memory formation. Exploring the mechanisms governing the interplay between sleep-wake circuits and memory also holds significant practical implications. Disturbances in sleep, such as insomnia, sleep apnea, or disruptions in sleep patterns, have been linked to impairments in memory and a decline in cognitive abilities. Scientists and clinicians can develop targeted interventions and therapeutic strategies to improve memory performance and mitigate memory-related disorders by understanding the neural mechanisms involved in sleep-dependent memory processes.

Dr. Gan's research focuses on understanding how the brain can integrate new information continuously while stably maintaining previously stored memories. By imaging changes of postsynaptic dendritic spines in living mouse cerebral cortex, we have found that most dendritic spines in diverse cortex regions could persist throughout adulthood and serve as a structural basis for long-term information storage. Over the years, we have investigated how motor learning, fear learning and extinction, stress hormone glucocorticoids, microglia, and sleep affect synaptic plasticity and maintenance in the living mouse cortex.

Our lab is interested in dissecting neural circuits underlying wakefulness-sleep behavior and exploring how these neural circuits regulate memory formation. We identified that the paraventricular thalamus is the key brain area for the maintenance of wakefulness, and systematically explored the mechanisms of hypothalamic wakefulness-promoting systems regulating spatial memory. Recently, we discovered that the nucleus reuniens triggers the isolated theta waves in the medial entorhinal cortex during non-rapid eye movement sleep, thereby coordinating reactivation of the memory-related neural ensembles and contributing to memory consolidation. We have published papers in SCI journals such as Science (2018), Neuron (2023), Advanced Science (2023), Cerebral Cortex (2016, 2018), etc.
