“…The current study used near-moderate intensity aerobic exercise following nap deprivation and found some beneficial effects of exercise on some measures of alertness and planning ability. These findings are also consistent with those in a previous near-infrared spectroscopy study that concluded that a 20-min moderate-intensity aerobic exercise improves 24-h sleep deprivation–induced cognitive decline, particularly PVT RT ( 16 ). Another study using 15 min of low-intensity aerobic exercise imposed after 24-h sleep deprivation did not find a benefit from exercise, but it also did not further impair cognition ( 51 ).…”

“…Recent meta-analyses indicated that execution performance is facilitated after cessation of exercise, irrespective of the exercise regimen ( 14 ). Sleep loss reduces oxygenated hemoglobin (O 2 Hb) in task-related PFC, whereas acute aerobic exercise increases it, resulting in the recovery of PFC-related executive skills ( 16 ). Consequently, aerobic exercise has gained attention as a possible approach to mitigate the deleterious effects of sleep loss on executive function.…”

Nap deprivation is regarded as a sleep loss for habitual nappers. The beneficial effects of napping and moderate-intensity aerobic exercise on the reduction in planning ability following nighttime sleep deprivation have been proven. However, it is still unknown whether it can improve the performance decline caused by daytime nap deprivation in habitual nappers. Seventy-four healthy adults who had a long-term habit of taking naps were assigned to three interventions after receiving nap deprivation: (1) Control group (no intervention); (2) Nap group (15-min sitting naps); (3) Exercise group (15-min aerobic exercise), in which subjective alertness, mood, fatigue, and task performance in objective alertness (Psychomotor Vigilance Task, PVT) and planning ability (the Tower of London Task) were measured. Results showed that nap deprivation negatively influenced some performance on the psychomotor vigilance (i.e., response times and 10% slowest response time) and planning ability (i.e., planning time). And acute moderate-intensity aerobic exercise improved psychomotor alertness (i.e., response times) and planning ability (i.e., execution accuracy, execution time), a 15-min sitting naps only alleviated subjective fatigue, whereas some performance (i.e., response times) deteriorated when no intervention was used. These findings suggested that acute moderate-intensity aerobic exercise has a better restorative effect on the reduced planning ability and objective alertness due to nap deprivation compared to sitting naps.

“…Such an evaluation of reproducibility is needed to improve our interpretations of the obtained results. In addition, there is some evidence that several biopsychosocial factors (e.g., circadian rhythms [240][241][242], level of sleepiness [243], and level of arousal [244]) can influence cognitive performance. In particular, it was observed (i) that measures of the cortical hemodynamic response (e.g., obtained during a cognitive test) are associated with total sleep duration [245,246] and sleepiness [247,248] and (ii) that total sleep duration is associated with acute exercise-related changes in behavioral performance (e.g., executive function performance) [82].…”

The Contribution of Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging to the Understanding of the Effects of Acute Physical Exercise on Cognition

et al. 2020

The fact that a single bout of acute physical exercise has a positive impact on cognition is well-established in the literature, but the neural correlates that underlie these cognitive improvements are not well understood. Here, the use of neuroimaging techniques, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), offers great potential, which is just starting to be recognized. This review aims at providing an overview of those studies that used fMRI to investigate the effects of acute physical exercises on cerebral hemodynamics and cognition. To this end, a systematic literature survey was conducted by two independent reviewers across five electronic databases. The search returned 668 studies, of which 14 studies met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed in this systematic review. Although the findings of the reviewed studies suggest that acute physical exercise (e.g., cycling) leads to profound changes in functional brain activation, the small number of available studies and the great variability in the study protocols limits the conclusions that can be drawn with certainty. In order to overcome these limitations, new, more well-designed trials are needed that (i) use a more rigorous study design, (ii) apply more sophisticated filter methods in fMRI data analysis, (iii) describe the applied processing steps of fMRI data analysis in more detail, and (iv) provide a more precise exercise prescription.Brain Sci. 2020, 10, 175 2 of 31 improve cognitive domains, such as attention and/or cognitive control substantially, albeit only transiently [30][31][32][33]. However, the underlying neurobiological mechanisms of these effects are not yet fully understood. In this regard, the use of neuroimaging methods offers great potential for acquiring a deeper understanding of physical exercise-induced changes in the neural correlates of cognition, such as changes in functional brain activation [33][34][35]. The most common methods used to investigate effects on functional brain activation are functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) [34] and electroencephalography (EEG) [36,37]; however, also functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has recently been applied in the context of acute physical exercise and cognition [38,39]. The strengths of fNIRS and EEG compared to fMRI are a higher temporal resolution, greater portability, and applicability in almost all cohorts (e.g., for individuals with metallic implants or claustrophobia) [34,40,41]. However, fNIRS and EEG have a limited spatial resolution and only allow for the evaluation of brain activation patterns in cortical areas [41][42][43]. In comparison to fNIRS and EEG, fMRI enables the assessment of brain activation changes in cortical and subcortical areas and offers a higher spatial resolution, which results in superior source localization [42][43][44]. Hence, fMRI is well suited to study the influence of acute physical exercise on subcortical structures, such as the hippocampus, which have a crucial role in cognitive processes (e.g., memory) [45][46][47][48][49...

“…As a simple and convenient aerobic exercise, treadmill exercise can inhibit neuroinflammation and microglial activation ( Mee-Inta et al, 2019 ). Treadmill exercise can also prevent inflammation and learning and memory impairment caused by acute SD and reverse the cognitive decline caused by SD ( Kojima et al, 2020 ). In addition, treadmill exercise reduced chronic allergic lung inflammation and airway remodeling in mice ( Vieira et al, 2007 ).…”

Modafinil Reduces Neuronal Pyroptosis and Cognitive Decline After Sleep Deprivation

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Sleep deprivation (SD) induces systemic inflammation that promotes neuronal pyroptosis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of an antioxidant modafinil on neuronal pyroptosis and cognitive decline following SD. Using a mouse model of SD, we found that modafinil improved learning and memory, reduced proinflammatory factor (IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-6) production, and increased the expression of anti-inflammatory factors (IL-10). Modafinil treatment attenuated inflammasome activity and reduced neuronal pyroptosis involving the NLRP3/NLRP1/NLRC4-caspase-1-IL-1β pathway. In addition, modafinil induced an upregulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and synaptic activity. These results suggest that modafinil reduces neuronal pyroptosis and cognitive decline following SD. These effects should be further investigated in future studies to benefit patients with sleep disorders.
