Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we addressed whether reduction of Prdm13 function in the dorsomedial hypothalamus causes a deficit in thermoregulation before sleep onset, resulting in sleep problems. Mouse studies using old mice, dietary restricted mice, and dorsomedial hypothalamic-specific Prdm13-knockout mice revealed that changes in body temperature at the onset of sleep is highly correlated with changes in sleep regulatory network. We also observed there is a sexual dimorphism in this regulation.
