Bright night sleeping environment induces diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance in non-human primates by Shuxing Wang, Zhenyi Chen, Zihao Liang, Qiang Xu, Jiankai Zhang

“…Data pertaining to the glucose metabolism such as concentrations of fasting glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, plasma insulin and C-peptide were collected monthly and analyzed.Results1) Bright night exasperated glucose metabolism in individuals with pre-existing diabetes, led to premature death; 2) Stronger white light intensity-dependently induced diabetes and IFG in previous healthy monkeys: the brighter the light, the quicker the metabolism disturbance and IFG developed, and also the higher morbidity of LID and IFG; 3) Exposure to nocturnal light had a synergistic impairing effect on glucose metabolism with aging and weight. 4) Female were more susceptible to night brightness.ConclusionsLight in sleeping environment exacerbates glucose metabolism in individuals with pre-existing diabetes, leads to IFG and diabetes in healthy primates. …”

Behavioral representations within the endogenous dual attentional pathways during audiovisual integration processing by Zhongtian Guan, Mingli Yan, Miao He, Yubo Liu, Zhixi Zhang, Chunlin Li

“…However, the cognitive strategies and neural mechanisms involved in audiovisual integration under endogenous attentional modulation are unclear, and in particular, the functional relationship between the dorsal and ventral pathways still needs to be thoroughly investigated.MethodsWe design only auditory (A), only visual (V), and audiovisual attention (VA) tasks based on the classical Posner paradigm with spatial, temporal and neutral cues for behavioral indicators, brain activation, and their correlations.ResultsOur results showed significant differences in behavioral performance between tasks, with weaker performance on the dual-channel task than on the single-channel task. …”
