Abstract
Sleep disorders are associated with cognitive impairment. Selective rapid eye movement sleep (REMS) deprivation (REMSD) alters several physiological processes and behaviors. By employing NGS platform we carried out transcriptomic analysis in brain samples of control rats and those exposed to REMSD. The expression of genes involved in chromatin assembly, methylation, learning, memory, regulation of synaptic transmission, neuronal plasticity and neurohypophysial hormone synthesis were altered. Increased transcription of BMP4, DBH and ATP1B2 genes after REMSD supports our earlier findings and hypothesis. Alteration in the transcripts encoding histone subtypes and important players in chromatin remodeling was observed. The mRNAs which transcribe neurotransmitters such as OXT, AVP, PMCH and LNPEP and two small non-coding RNAs, namely RMRP and BC1 were down regulated. At least some of these changes are likely to regulate REMS and may participate in the consequences of REMS loss. Thus, the findings of this study have identified key epigenetic regulators and neuronal plasticity genes associated to REMS and its loss. This analysis provides a background and opens up avenues for unraveling their specific roles in the complex behavioral network particularly in relation to sustained REMS-loss associated changes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study characterizes the positive relationship between daily temperature and bipolar disorder in a cohort of Taiwanese psychiatric inpatients. METHODS Meteorological data, provided by the Central Weather Bureau (CWB) of Taiwan, were interpolated to create representative estimates of mean diurnal temperatures for 352 townships. Psychiatric inpatient admissions enrolled in the national health-care insurance system were retrieved from the 1996-2007 Psychiatric Inpatient Medical Claim (PIMC) dataset. The generalized linear mixed models with Poisson distribution were used to evaluate the relative risks of mean diurnal temperature with respect to increased admissions for bipolar disorder, while adjusting for internal correlations and demographic covariates. RESULTS Increased relative risks of bipolar disorder admissions were associated with the increasing trends of temperature over 24.0 °C (50th ‰), especially for adults and females. The highest daily diurnal temperatures above 30.7 °C (99th ‰) had the greatest risks of bipolar hospitalizations. CONCLUSION Understanding the increase of bipolar disorder admissions occurring in extreme heat is important in the preparation and prevention of massive recurrences of bipolar episodes.

Abstract
For this study, we compared the thermoregulatory involvement of noradrenaline (NA) in the medial preoptic area (mPOA) of non-cold acclimated rats to that of cold-acclimated rats. We quantified the release of NA in the mPOA during 3 h cold (5 degrees C) exposure in room-temperature-acclimated rats (RA group, kept at 23 degrees C for 2 weeks) and cold-acclimated rats (CA group, kept at 5 degrees C for 2 weeks). We concurrently monitored the core body temperature (Tc), heart rate (HR), and tail skin temperature (Tt). Cold exposure significantly increased Tc and HR, and decreased Tt in both groups. However, the cold-induced increase of the extracellular NA levels in mPOA was observed only in the RA group: not in the CA group. To elucidate these different results in NA levels further, and to evaluate participation of the mPOA in thermoregulation in the cold, we measured Tc, HR, and Tt during perfusion of alpha-adrenoceptor antagonist phenoxybenzamine during cold exposure (5 degrees C). This pharmacological procedure induced marked hypothermia, with decreases in HR only in the RA group; no changes were observed in Tc or any thermoregulatory parameter in the CA group. These results suggest that NA in the mPOA modulates heat production in response to acute cold stress in the RA group. However, this thermoregulatory action of NA in the mPOA was attenuated in the CA group.

Abstract
General anesthetics modulate autonomic nervous system function including thermoregulatory control, which resides in the preoptic area of the anterior hypothalamus. However, the mechanism by which anesthetics modulate hypothalamic function remains unknown. We hypothesized that isoflurane increases norepinephrine release in the preoptic area and in the posterior hypothalamus causing hypothermia during anesthesia. To test this hypothesis, we performed a series of in vivo and in vitro studies in rats. In vivo studies: 1) Norepinephrine release was measured by microdialysis in the preoptic area or the posterior hypothalamus (n=9 each) before, during (30 min), and after (50 min) rats were anesthetized with 2% isoflurane. 2) In five rats, blood gases and arterial pressure were measured. 3) Body temperature changes (n=6 each) were measured after prazosin (0, 0.05, 0.5 microg), norepinephrine (0, 0.1, 1.0 microg), or 0.5 microg prazosin with 1.0 microg norepinephrine injection into the preoptic area. In vitro study: Norepinephrine release was measured from anterior or posterior hypothalamic slices (n=10 each) incubated with 0, 1, 2, or 4% isoflurane in Ca2+-containing buffer or with 4% isoflurane (n=10) in Ca2+-free buffer. Data were analyzed with repeated measures or factorial ANOVA and Student-Newman-Keuls tests. P<0.05 was significant. During anesthesia, norepinephrine release in the preoptic area was increased approximately 270%, whereas the release in the posterior hypothalamus remained unchanged. During emergence, posterior hypothalamic norepinephrine release increased by approximately 250% (P<0.05). Rectal temperature changes correlated with norepinephrine release from the preoptic area. Norepinephrine in the preoptic area enhanced isoflurane-induced hypothermia, while prazosin reversed it. Norepinephrine release from anterior hypothalamic slices increased at all isoflurane concentrations, but only at the highest concentration in posterior hypothalamic slices. Under Ca2+-free conditions, 4% isoflurane increased norepinephrine from both regions. These results suggest that augmentation of norepinephrine release in the preoptic area is responsible for hypothermia during general anesthesia.

Abstract
Ozone (O3) produces significant effects on sleep, characterized specially by a decrease in paradoxical sleep (PS) and increase in slow-wave sleep (SWS), which in turn represent a sleep-wake cycle disruption. On the other hand, neuronal activity recorded in the cholinoceptive hypothalamic medial preoptic area (MPO) has been involved in the regulation of sleep. However, there is no direct evidence on the role that acetylcholine (Ach) release in the MPO plays in the sleep-wake cycle. In order to study this relation, we measured the Ach concentration in dialysates collected from MPO in rats exposed to coal-filtered air (clean air) for 48 h and in rats exposed to clean air for 24 h followed by 24-h of O3 exposure to 0.5 ppm. Polygraphic sleep records were taken simultaneously to neurochemical sampling. O3 was employed to disrupt the sleep-wake cycle and relate these changes with concomitant disruptions in Ach concentration dialyzed from MPO. A clear circadian pattern of Ach concentration was observed in dialysates from MPO and also in PS, SWS and wakefulness of rats exposed to filtered air. However, O3 exposure decreased the PS by 65% (Mann-Whitney's U-test, p<or=0.0003) and a concomitant decrease of extracellular Ach of 58% (p<or=0.0239) was observed during the light phase. These changes were maintained during the dark phase, although it was also observed that slow-wave sleep increased by 75% (p<or=0.0013) while wakefulness was decreased in 35% (p<or=0.0007). We conclude that Ach release in MPO follows a circadian rhythm that is disrupted by O3 exposure, and these changes are strongly associated with the O3-induced PS disruptions.

Abstract
1. In order to ascertain whether both GABA(A) and GABA(B), or only GABA(B) receptors, directly modulate thermoregulation in conscious rabbits, GABA(A)/GABA(B) agonist and antagonist agents were injected intracerebroventricularly in conscious rabbits while monitoring changes in rectal temperature (RT), gross motor behaviour (GMB) and electrocorticogram (ECoG) power spectra (ps) from sensorimotor cortices. 2. GABA (48 micromol), nipecotic acid (50 nmol), THIP (60 nmol), muscimol (18 nmol) and baclofen (8 nmol) induced hypothermia (-deltaRTmax values of 1.70+/-0.1, 1.4+/-0.2, 1.0+/-0.4, 1.1+/-0.2 and 1.6+/-0.3 degrees C, respectively), accompanied by inhibition of GMB and ECoG synchronization. THIP increased ps at delta frequency band (1.1-3.3 Hz), while GABA, nipecotic acid, muscimol and baclofen did the same at both delta and (4.6-6.5 Hz) frequency bands. ECoG ps changes were concomitant or even preceded hypothermia. 3. Bicuculline (1.8 nmol) induced hyperthermia (deltaRTmax 1.2+/-0.5 degrees C) and slight excitation of GMB, while CGP35348 (1.2 micromol) did not affect RT nor GMB. Both compounds did not affect ECoG ps. 4. Bicuculline potentiated muscimol-induced hypothermia, inhibition of GMB and synchronization of ECoG, while CGP35348 fully antagonized these effects. 5. In conclusion, the present results, while confirming the prevailing role of GABA(B), also outline a direct involvement of GABA(A) receptors in the central mechanisms of thermoregulation. Ascending inhibition towards discrete cortical areas controlling muscular activity and thermogenesis may result from GABA receptor activation in neurones proximal to the ventricles, thus contributing to hypothermia, although hypothermia-induced reduction of neuronal activity of these cortical areas cannot be ruled out.

Abstract
Effects of adrenoceptor agonists and antagonists on imipramine-induced hypothermia in mice were studied. Intraperitoneal injection of imipramine (10-40 mg x kg(-1)), alpha2-adrenoceptor agonist clonidine (0.05-0.1 mg x kg(-1)), alpha1-adrenoceptor agonist phenylephrine (6 mg x kg(-1)) and alpha1-adrenoceptor antagonist prazosin (1-4 mg x kg(-1)) but not alpha2-adrenoceptor antagonist yohimbine (1-4 mg x kg(-1)) induced significant hypothermia. The hypothermic response induced by imipramine (10-30 mg x kg(-1)) was not altered by clonidine (0.05-0.1 mg x kg(-1)) or phenylephrine (2-6 mg x kg(-1)). The response of imipramine (10-30 mg x kg(-1)) was reduced significantly by yohimbine (2 mg x kg(-1)) and was potentiated by prazosin (1 mg x kg(-1)). The hypothermic effect of clonidine (0.1 mg x kg(-1)) and imipramine (20 mg x kg(-1)) were also decreased significantly by different doses of yohimbine (1-4 mg x kg(-1)). The hypothermia induced by different doses of prazosin (1-4 mg x kg(-1)) was not altered by yohimbine (2 mg x kg(-1)) or by low dose of imipramine (10 mg x kg(-1)). It is concluded that alpha2-adrenoceptor mechanism may be involved in the hypothermic effect of imipramine.

Abstract
Earlier microinjection studies showed that norepinephrine in the medial preoptico-anterior hypothalamic area (mPOAH) regulates body temperature and the action is mediated through alpha-1 adrenoceptors. This study was conducted to confirm if the thermosensitive neurons in the mPOAH of rats possess alpha-1 adrenoceptors. First, the thermosensitivity of mPOAH neurons was tested and then the effects of microiontophoretic application of prazosin, alpha 1 adrenoceptor antagonist, on the firing rate of both the thermosensitive as well as the insensitive neurons were recorded. Prazosin significantly inhibited the firing rate of the thermosensitive neurons suggesting that most of the cold and warm sensitive neurons in the mPOAH possess alpha-1 adrenoceptors. These results at the single neuronal level confirm our earlier hypothesis that in the mPOAH, norepinephrine regulates body temperature by acting on alpha-1 adrenoceptors. The data also suggest that sensitivity of the mPOAH neurons to norepinephrine alter with changes in body temperature. The detailed physiological significance of the results with special reference to thermoregulation at the single neuronal level has been discussed.

Abstract
Sleep-wakefulness and body temperature are two circadian rhythmic biological phenomena. The role of GABAergic inputs in the medial preoptico-anterior hypothalamus (mPOAH) on simultaneous regulation of those phenomena was investigated in freely moving normally behaving rats. The GABA-A receptors were blocked by microinjecting picrotoxin, and the effects on electrophysiological parameters signifying sleep-wakefulness, rectal temperature and brain temperature were recorded simultaneously. The results suggest that, normally, GABA in the medial preoptic area acts through GABA-A receptor that induces sleep and prevents an excessive rise in body temperature. However, the results do not allow us to comment on the cause and effect relationship, if any, between changes in sleep-wakefulness and body temperature. The changes in brain and rectal temperatures showed a positive correlation, however, the former varied within a narrower range than that of the latter.

Abstract
Hypothalamic cholinergic system plays an important role in the regulation of body temperature and fluid balance. We have previously shown that cholinergic stimulation of the anterior hypothalamus and preoptic area was accompanied by a fall in body temperature, increased water intake, and increased Fos protein in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) and supraoptic nucleus (SON). In the present study, to estimate the role played by cholinergic input to the PVN and SON in thermoregulation and water intake, we used microdialysis for cholinergic stimulation with neostigmine and analysis of the nucleus, and also investigated immunoreactivity for c-Fos protein in the brain. This stimulation increased extracellular concentration of acetylcholine in these nuclei. Stimulation of the PVN decreased body temperature and increased water intake. On the other hand, stimulation of the SON increased body temperature. Both in PVN-stimulated and SON-stimulated rats, c-Fos-like immunoreactivity (Fos-IR) was evident in the PVN, SON and certain regions including locus coeruleus (LC), area postrema and nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS). Addition of atropine to the dialysis medium attenuated the increase of Fos-IR and suppressed the cholinergic stimulation-induced responses in body temperature and water intake. These results suggest that cholinergic muscarinic mechanisms in PVN and SON play an opposite function in the regulation of body temperature. The same neuronal pathway including LC and NTS may participate in an advance both in hypothermia and in hyperthermia.

Abstract
To elucidate the role played by cholinergic mechanism in the preoptic area (POA) and anterior hypothalamus (AH) in the control of body temperature and water intake of rats, we used microdialysis without disturbing the behavior of unanesthetized animals. After microdialysis, we also investigated immunoreactivity for c-Fos protein in the hypothalamus. Stimulation with neostigmine, an acetylcholine esterase inhibitor, through microdialysis probe increased extracellular concentration of acetylcholine (ACh) in the POA and AH, and was accompanied by a dose-dependent fall in body temperature and increased water intake. Addition of atropine, a muscarinic receptor antagonist, to the dialysis medium containing neostigmine suppressed the neostigmine-induced changes in rectal temperature and water intake. Neostignime markedly increased c-Fos-like immunoreactivity (Fos-IR) in certain hypothalamic areas, including the paraventricular nucleus, supraoptic nucleus and median preoptic nucleus. This increase was also attenuated by atropine. These results suggest that cholinergic inputs and activation of muscarinic processes in POA and AH induced a decline in body temperature and increased water intake.
