PhD MEXT Scholar-Japan Neuroscience-Sleep Medicine @WPI-IIIS Tsukuba University Science Communicator| Pharmacogenomics & Neuro-Omics MSc in Medical & Pharmaceutical Biotechnology
Our Recent Published Article✨️! Titled "Optochemical control of slow-wave sleep in the nucleus accumbens of male mice by a photoactivatable allosteric modulator of adenosine A2A receptors" published in #NatureCommunications. I'm super blessed to join such a great team where I learned more about how #Optochemistry may offer promising avenues for improving quality of life while minimizing unintended drug actions! Here, we developed a brain-permeable positive allosteric modulator of A2ARs (A2AR PAM) that can be rapidly photoactivated with visible light (λ > 400 nm). Our approach holds great potential for treating various diseases, namely treatment-resistant insomnia for which most available therapeutic options are unsatisfactory, leaving patients desperate for alternative therapies! Besides, alleviating symptoms of psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia and representing potential therapeutic approach to neuroinflammation as well!

I offer online guidance, based around energy medicine, to peri and post-menopausal women who may feel vulnerable having to deal with the reality of aging in a youth obsessed world.
EXPLORE POWERFUL ENERGY MEDICINE TECHNIQUES FOR THE AGING BRAIN I love sharing the work of amazing women and this free video event is led by just such a woman; Dr Melanie - a friend and fellow faculty member for many years ................ You may be surprised to hear that your brain already begins its aging process at the tender age of eight! With that in mind, doesn’t it make sense to do everything you can to protect, preserve, and enhance your cognitive function to ensure that you maintain healthy mental acuity well into your elder years? If we don’t intentionally enhance our brain’s resilience, we can start losing memory, focus, and clarity — and possibly develop conditions like Alzheimer’s, dementia, Parkinson’s, MS, or even compromise our gut health and immunity. That’s why we’re excited to invite you to join Dr. Melanie in a free video event on Tuesday, April 30, at 5:30pm Pacific, in which you’ll discover that… … regardless of your stage of life and what’s happened in your personal world, there are many things you can do to rejuvenate, restore, and sharpen healthy brain activity — particularly energy medicine practices — to counteract and prevent the often negative impact of an aging brain. You’ll learn important (and fascinating!) information about the chronology of brain development. For example, did you know that we come into the world with all the brain cells we’re ever going to have? Dr. Melanie will provide a variety of self-care measures you can take on your own to bring relief, while supporting and enhancing your brain potential at any age. In this hopeful and healing hour-long workshop, you’ll discover: 3 energy-healing techniques to build neuroplasticity, detox your brain, open up new neural pathways, and calm your nervous system The chronology of brain development and the importance of having a fully developed brain before the age of eight How synapses are “communication connectors,” and the important role they play in developing brain neuroplasticity Why your early childhood and other difficult circumstances may still be impacting you now The role of the vagus nerve, which manages your parasympathetic nervous system, and how its development in early childhood can affect your gut health and cause anxiety, depression, ADD, ADHD, and so much more Ways that exposure to poor nutrition, food additives, processed food, toxins, and EMFs — especially in early childhood — can negatively impact your brain health even in your later years You’ll walk away from this event understanding that it’s never too late to heal and enhance your brain by incorporating energy medicine practices into your everyday life. You can RSVP for free via this link - https://lnkd.in/eNdCpCkV

Interesting article from Aaron Dorman on the use of light therapy as a "washing machine" to increase the removal of beta-amyloid during sleep. It is said that this Beta-amyloid build-up is what causes Alzheimer's. 🧠 "The use of a specific kind of low-level infrared light therapy labeled photobiomodulation technology — PBM, for short — successfully stimulated faster removal of beta-amyloid in mice with Alzheimer’s, a recent study showed, a “very promising” result for future, human therapies." #lighttherapy #alzheimers #neuroscience Read more here 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dyegHQGq

Being a member of the Indian Academy of Neurology and heading the Sleep Disorders Subcommittee on March 10, 2024, is a true privilege. Seeing Sleep Medicine gaining more recognition fills us with pride. Our focus will include highlighting the increased stroke risk associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), attributed to factors like intermittent hypoxia and heightened sympathetic activity. Additionally, we'll address the importance of evaluating the underlying causes of insomnia to plan appropriate treatment. #SleepMedicine #Neurology #IndianAcademyofNeurology #SleepDisorders #OSA #StrokeRisk #Insomnia #Healthcare #Awareness

THE BRAIN-DRAIN I Was encouraged to see the published studies over the past year, to attest to PBMs ability to increase lymphatics of the brain. We have seen many studies to show it’s advantages in neurological health and cognition. I have long promoted the real benefits of thorough lymph drainage and vagus work, and so too to promote the enormous benefits of ACCURATE PBM (it biphasic so accuracy is crucial). To be able to trust a therapy like PBM, that has so many benefits, to increase cleansing and detoxification of the brain is a game changer in wellness. Our specialised and unique protocols of care put PBM as a pivotal element of every facility we install. To us, PBM is as important to humans as Oxygen itself: You need both to trigger ATP (PBM being the right light). However, knowing when, how, why, in what order to use it and to incorporate it into a real care plan, is what makes all the difference and delivers accelerated results and outcomes for ultimate, reliable effects. #glymphatics #lymph #mentalhealth #PBM #integratedtherapy #wellness #ATP #alzheimers #dementia #braindrain #betaamyloid

One Man Journal Club : Day 17 Adaptive Deep Brain Stimulation(DBS) This study tested a dual algorithm for adaptive DBS to account for sleep effects on biomarkers in Parkinson's patients. 4 Parkinson's patients had electrodes implanted in subcortical and cortical areas. One detector used cortical alpha and theta power to track sleep state with a single threshold. Another detector tracked Parkinsonian motor signs using subcortical biomarkers relative to two thresholds. Detector parameters were optimized using patient training data across wake/sleep and medication cycles. Performance was tested using algorithm state logs downloaded daily from patients at home over 47 days. The sleep detector achieved high concordance (mean 88%) with patient reported sleep state. It successfully switched to sleep mode during sleep across 47 days of testing. The motor sign detector adjusted stimulation based on medication fluctuations when patients were awake. Discriminating sleep is crucial for chronic embedded adaptive DBS, as biomarkers are influenced by sleep. This study demonstrates a crucial development in the field of adaptive deep brain stimulation for neurological and psychiatric indications. The dual detector design elegantly overcomes this issue by allowing independent tracking of sleep and disease states on different timescales appropriate for each. Enabling adaptive DBS systems to respond intelligently to sleep could improve outcomes and quality of life for patients. #neurosurgery #deepbrainstimulation #adaptivelearning #parkinsons #mentalhealth
