Insomnia is a common sleep disorder among older adults,and a risk factor for poor physical and mental health.However,the relationship between insomnia and cognitive health is not well understood.Here,we review observational studies that have investigated whether insomnia is associated with deficits in objective cognitive performance and an increased risk of dementia,magnetic resonance imaging studies that have assessed grey matter volumes and white matter microstructure,and interventional studies that have explored whether the treatment of insomnia can improve cognitive outcomes.There are inconsistent findings regarding impaired performance in objective cognitive tests and reduced grey matter volumes,and limited,emerging,evidence that suggests that insomnia is associated with an increased risk of dementia and reduced white matter integrity.Although the interventional literature is still in its infancy,there is some indication that treatment may have an impact on vigilance.Well-powered studies examining sources of heterogeneity are warranted.

Increasing evidence suggests that a cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent intracellular signal drives the process of myelination.Yet,the signal transduction underlying the action of cAMP on central nervous system myelination remains undefined.In
Investigation of pain requires measurements of nociceptive sensitivity and other pain-related behaviors.Recent studies have indicated the superiority of gait analysis over traditional evaluations (e.g.,skin sensitivity and sciatic function index [SFI]) in
Fenofibrate,an agonist for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR-α),lowers blood pressure,but whether this action is mediated via baroreflex afferents has not been elucidated.In this study,the distribution of PPAR-α and PPAR-γ was assesse
Recently, a paper published in Science reported discovery of sensory peripheral glial cells [1].This paper demonstrated a rather unexpected property of non-myelinating Schwann cells (also known as Remak cells) dwelling in the subepidermal border of the sk
