Abstract
An increase in ambient temperature leads to an increase in sleep. However, the mechanisms behind this phenomenon remain unknown. This study aimed to investigate the role of microglia in the increase of sleep caused by high ambient temperature. We confirmed that at 35 °C, slow-wave sleep was significantly increased relative to those observed at 25 °C. Notably, this effect was abolished upon treatment with PLX3397, a CSF1R inhibitor that can deplete microglia, while sleep amount at 25 °C was unaffected. These observations suggest that microglia play a pivotal role in modulating the homeostatic regulation of sleep in response to the fluctuations in ambient temperature.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Physiological Sciences publishes peer-reviewed original papers, reviews, short communications, technical notes, and letters to the editor, based on the principles and theories of modern physiology and addressed to the international scientific community. All fields of physiology are covered, encompassing molecular, cellular and systems physiology. The emphasis is on human and vertebrate physiology, but comparative papers are also considered. The process of obtaining results must be ethically sound.
Fields covered:
Adaptation and environment
Autonomic nervous function
Biophysics
Cell sensors and signaling
Central nervous system and brain sciences
Endocrinology and metabolism
Excitable membranes and neural cell physiology
Exercise physiology
Gastrointestinal and kidney physiology
Heart and circulatory physiology
Molecular and cellular physiology
Muscle physiology
Physiome/systems biology
Respiration physiology
Senses.
