An amazing panel at @PittSleep Research Day on school start times, featuring @wendytroxel @joannafong and others. Big takeaways: educate families; don't assume others are talking about this issue, speak to your legislators; the research backs this up so let's advocate for this.

In a paper published in Biological Psychiatry, investigators reported that an EEG waveform derivative accurately tracked real-time Ca2+melanin-concentrating hormone in rats. bit.ly/3Z0VXIN

In a study published in Progress in Neurobiology, @PittHealthSci neuroscientists described compelling new evidence of a critical neuroplasticity period in the frontal brain region during adolescence. upmc.me/3EhyJmY
ALT Photo and quote from Dr. Beatriz Luna: “This paper provides biological evidence for what we have all suspected regarding adolescent behavior. Adolescence is the time when cognition becomes specialized in supporting the transition to adulthood and determining lifetime brain development trajectories, which can be derailed such as in mental illness.”

Want to boost America's high school graduation rate?
Start school later.
New study shows that after pushing start time later than 830am in 28 schools, graduation rate over the next 4 years climbed 12.5% & attendance increased 3.3%.
Effect was strongest for low-income kids.

The human brain has 12 hr rhythms!! And the timing of mitochondrial related transcript expression is completely wrong in schizophrenia, which could lead to suboptimal neuronal energy when cells need it most. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
