The Impact

Despite an emerging link between alterations in motivated behavior and a lack of sleep, the impact of sleep deprivation on human brain mechanisms of reward and punishment remain largely unknown, as does the role of trait dopamine activity in modulating such effects in the mesolimbic system. Combining fMRI with an established incentive paradigm and individual genotyping, here, we test the hypothesis that trait differences in the human dopamine transporter (DAT) gene—associated with altered synaptic dopamine signalling—govern the impact of sleep deprivation on neural sensitivity to impending monetary gains and losses. Consistent with this framework, markedly different striatal reward responses were observed following sleep loss depending on the DAT functional polymorphisms. Only participants carrying a copy of the nine-repeat DAT allele—linked to higher phasic dopamine activity—expressed amplified striatal response during anticipation of monetary gain following sleep deprivation. Moreover, participants homozygous for the ten-repeat DAT allele—linked to lower phasic dopamine activity—selectively demonstrated an increase in sensitivity to monetary loss within anterior insula following sleep loss. Together, these data reveal a mechanistic dependency on human of trait dopaminergic function in determining the interaction between sleep deprivation and neural processing of rewards and punishments. Such findings have clinical implications in disorders where the DAT genetic polymorphism presents a known risk factor with comorbid sleep disruption, including attention hyperactive deficit disorder and substance abuse.

Abstract Introduction Short sleep contributes to attention failure in conditions such as ADHD. Whether sleep loss affects attentional processes as a task varies in cognitive interference is unclear. We used a multi-source interference task (MSIT) in a sleep restriction paradigm in children with a range of ADHD symptoms to examine how short sleep disrupts attention in these youth. Methods Thirteen children (7F, 11.7±1.28 years) with a range of ADHD symptom severity completed a repeated-measures experiment on two consecutive nights in the laboratory: baseline (BSLN; 9.5h time-in-bed) and sleep restriction (SR; 4h time-in-bed). Each morning they took part in an fMRI session including the MSIT, in which participants respond to a series of 3-digit numbers by indicating which digit is different on no-interference (e.g., 003; correct=3) or interference (e.g., 311, correct=3) trials. Performance measures were inverse reaction time (1/RT) and accuracy. A two-way within-subject ANOVA assessed performance across interference and sleep conditions respectively. Results 1/RT showed main-effects of sleep loss (BSLN vs. SR; F(1,148)=4.01;p<0.05;η 2=0.026) and trial type (no-interference vs. interference; F(1,148)=24.7;p<0.001;η 2=0.143). Responses were slower for interference (BSLN RT: 799.3ms, SR RT: 895.8ms) than no-interference (BSLN RT: 653.2ms, SR RT: 697.4ms) trials. No interaction between interference and sleep loss was found (F(1,148)=0.11;p>0.05;η 2=0.001). Likewise, accuracy was lower (F(1,148) = 31.1, p<.001;η 2=0.174) in interference trials (73.5%) than in no-interference trials (92.2%), however with no effect of sleep loss, nor an interaction of interference and sleep loss (all p’s > .05). Conclusion These data provide evidence that partial sleep loss disrupts attention processes in children, yet these differences do not appear to depend on cognitive interference in our sample. Future analyses will examine whether ADHD symptoms distinguish individual differences, as well as analyze fMRI data to probe neural processes underlying attention control.

Abstract Introduction An abundance of cross-sectional research links inadequate sleep with poor emotional health, but experimental studies in children are rare. Further, the impact of sleep loss is not uniform across individuals, and pre-existing anxiety might potentiate the effects of poor sleep on children’s emotional functioning. Methods N=53 children (mean age 9.0 years; 56% female) completed multi-modal, emotional assessments in the lab when rested and after two nights of sleep restriction (7h and 6h in bed, respectively). Sleep was monitored with polysomnography and actigraphy. Subjective reports of affect and arousal, psychophysiological reactivity, and objective emotional expression were examined during two emotional processing tasks, including one where children were asked to suppress their emotional responses. Results After sleep restriction, deleterious alterations were observed in children’s affect and their emotional reactivity, expression, and regulation. These effects were primarily limited to positive emotional stimuli. The presence of anxiety symptoms moderated most of the alterations in emotional processing observed after sleep restriction. Conclusion Results suggest inadequate sleep preferentially impacts positive compared to negative emotion in pre-pubertal children and that pre-existing anxiety symptoms amplify these effects. Implications for children’s everyday socio-emotional lives and long-term affective risk are highlighted. Support NIMH grant #R21MH099351

Abstract Background The performance of a secondary task while walking increases motor-cognitive interference and exacerbates fall risk in older adults. Previous studies have demonstrated that transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) may improve certain types of dual-task performance, and, that tDCS delivered during the performance of a task may augment the benefits of stimulation, potentially reducing motor-cognitive interference. However, it is not yet known if combining multi-target tDCS with the simultaneous performance of a task related to the tDCS targets reduces or increases dual-task walking costs among older adults. The objectives of the present work were (1) To examine whether tDCS applied during the performance of a task that putatively utilizes the brain networks targeted by the neuro-stimulation reduces dual-task costs, and (2) to compare the immediate after-effects of tDCS applied during walking, during seated-rest, and during sham stimulation while walking, on dual-task walking costs in older adults. We also explored the impact on postural sway and other measures of cognitive function. Methods A double-blind, ‘within-subject’ cross-over pilot study evaluated the effects of 20 min of anodal tDCS targeting both the primary motor cortex (M1) and the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (lDLPFC) in 25 healthy older adults (73.9 ± 5.2 years). Three stimulation conditions were assessed in three separate sessions: (1) tDCS while walking in a complex environment (tDCS + walking), (2) tDCS while seated (tDCS + seated), and (3) walking in a complex environment with sham tDCS (sham + walking). The complex walking condition utilized virtual reality to tax motor and cognitive abilities. During each session, usual-walking, dual-task walking, quiet standing sway, and cognitive function (e.g., Stroop test) were assessed before and immediately after stimulation. Dual-task costs to gait speed and other measures were computed. Results The dual-task cost to gait speed was reduced after tDCS + walking (p = 0.004) as compared to baseline values. Neither tDCS + seated (p = 0.173) nor sham + walking (p = 0.826) influenced this outcome. Similar results were seen for other gait measures and for Stroop performance. Sway was not affected by tDCS. Conclusions tDCS delivered during the performance of challenging walking decreased the dual-task cost to walking in older adults when they were tested just after stimulation. These results support the existence of a state-dependent impact of neuro-modulation that may set the stage for a more optimal neuro-rehabilitation.
