Neuroimaging techniques, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG), have been pivotal in studying these effects. The present chapter aims to retrace the state of the art regarding the literature that examines the SD effects on the brain through functional connectivity (FC) evaluated in fMRI and EEG settings, separately. Specifically, we focused on the cognitive domains mainly affected by sleep loss and the underlying brain connectivity alterations. SD disrupts homeostatic and circadian processes, negatively affecting cognitive and cerebral functionality explored through FC. All evidence confirms the detrimental role of SD on brain connectivity impacting several resting-state networks and resulting in cognitive impairments. To conclude, SD may offer useful insights into pathogenic mechanisms likely resembling those induced by chronic sleep loss that might find their application in the clinical context.</p>","PeriodicalId":12907,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of clinical neurology","volume":"206 ","pages":"27-36"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143046350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sleep-wake disturbances are among the most persistent and debilitating consequences of TBI and are reported by 50%-70% of TBI patients regardless of TBI severity. Excessive daytime sleepiness, fatigue, hypersomnia, and insomnia are the most common sleep disturbances in TBI patients. Post-TBI sleep-wake disturbances are often associated with pain, anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder. They may exacerbate cognitive impairment following TBI, reduce community integration, and delay recovery and return to normal life. Changes in sleep architecture following TBI have been reported in the literature but cannot fully explain the extent and intensity of the sleep-wake disturbances reported by TBI patients. The alteration in the circadian timing system is another factor that may partially account for the presence of post-TBI sleep-wake disturbances. Current literature supports cognitive behavioral therapy and sleep hygiene education, light therapy, and certain pharmacologic interventions for treating sleep disturbances in TBI patients.

DoC are clinically defined on the basis of behavioral cues expressed by the patients, on the assumption that such behavioral responses of the patient are representative of the patient's degree of consciousness impairment. However, many studies have highlighted the issues arising from formulating a DoC diagnosis merely on behavioral assessment. Overcoming the limitations of behavioral assessment, neuroimaging provides a direct window on the cerebral activity of the patient, bypassing the motor, perceptual, or cognitive deficits that might hamper the patient's ability to produce an appropriate behavioral response. This chapter provides an overview of available molecular, functional, and structural neuroimaging evidence in patients with DoC. This chapter introduces the neuroimaging tools available in the clinical settings of nuclear medicine and neuroradiology and presents the evidence on the role of neuroimaging tools to improve the clinical management of DoC patients, from the standpoint of differential diagnosis and prognosis.

Over the last decades, a growing number of findings obtained through many different techniques such as EEG, MEG, MRI, and fMRI, consistently reported reduction/loss of brain asymmetries as a core feature of schizophrenia, further suggesting such alterations to play a cardinal role in the pathogenesis of the disease. Moreover, several cognitive and psychopathologic dimensions have shown significant correlations with the reduced degree of asymmetry. In particular, the absence or even reversal of structural asymmetries has been documented in language-related brain such as the Sylvian fissure and planum temporale. These findings have been reprocessed within an evolutionary and psychopathologic framework pointing at the loss of asymmetry and the consequent language impairment as primum moves in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia.

We evaluate preclinical and clinical evidence for targeting neuroglia as therapeutic interventions. In addition, we evaluate the literature on the gut microbiome and its role in SUD.

N-Acetylcysteine, through modulation of cysteine-glutamate antiporter of glial cells, shows encouraging results across a variety of drug classes.

Astrocytes in particular play a major role in controlling the equilibrium among adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP), adenosine 5'-diphosphate (ADP), adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP), and adenosine. Any energy crisis leads to a drop in ATP, and the resulting increase in adenosine is an evolutionary ancient mechanism to suppress energy-consuming activities. The maintenance of brain energy homeostasis, in turn, requires the availability of energy sources, such as glucose and ketones. Astrocytes have assumed an important role in enabling efficient energy utilization by neurons. In addition, neurons are under the metabolic control of astrocytes through regulation of glutamate and GABA levels. The intricate interplay between glial brain energy metabolism and brain function can be best understood once the homeostatic system of energy metabolism is brought out of control. This has best been studied within the context of epilepsy where metabolic treatments provide unprecedented opportunities for the control of seizures that are refractory to conventional antiseizure medications. This chapter will discuss astroglial energy metabolism in the healthy brain and will use epilepsy as a model condition in which glial brain energy homeostasis is disrupted.
