Lemborexant Reduces Infarct Volume and Improves Long-Term Functional Recovery in a Murine Model of Ischemic Stroke

Hee Ra Jung, Shreyas Venkitaraman, Stephen Blackwood, Aizad Kamal, Yunhao Jiang, Jake Lee, David S. Lee, Noor Bibi, Khairunisa M. Ibrahim, Carla M. Yuede, Jin‐Moo Lee, Eric C. Landsness

This paper shows that lemborexant reduces infarct volume and improves motor recovery in a mouse model of ischemic stroke by stabilizing sleep.

Targeted preoptic neuronal activation induces a hypothermic state with metabolic reprogramming and acute cerebroprotection

Aizad Kamal, Juan Liu, Ernesto R. Gonzales, Khairunisa Mohamad Ibrahim, Fan Zhang, Tamara Abou-Antoun, Hannah E Skelton, Javier Kelly Cuenca, Carla M. Yuede, Gary J. Patti, Leah P. Shriver, Jin-Moo Lee, Aaron J. Norris, Eric C. Landsness

The paper shows that activating specific neurons induces hypothermia and metabolic changes that reduce brain injury after stroke, with benefits lost when temperature is normal.
