Circadian and behavioural abnormalities in schizophrenia and GluA1 knockouts.
Schizophrenia patients | GluA1-deficient mice |
---|---|
1. Rest–activity rhythms misaligned with LD (W) | 1. Rest–activity rhythms misaligned with LD (Fig. 1)a |
2. Increased arousal episodes during bed time (T) | 2. Increased activity during the resting phase (Fig. 1)a |
3. Circadian period ≠24 h (W) | 3. Reduced power of ~24-h rhythms (Fig. 1) |
4. Increased day-to-day variability in sleep and melatonin onset, midpoint, and offset (T,W) | 4. Increased day-to-day variability in rest–activity rhythms (Fig. 2) |
5. Fragmented sleep–wake patterns (T,W) | 5. Fragmented activity bouts (Fig. 2) |
6. Deficits in sensorimotor gating (B) | 6. Aberrant salience of recently encountered familiar environmental cues (Figs. 3,5) |
