Abstract The noradrenergic locus coeruleus (LC) is vital for brain states underlying wakefulness, whereas its roles sleep remain uncertain. Combining mouse sleep-wake monitoring, behavioral manipulations, LC fiber photometry and closed-loop optogenetics, we found that neuronal activity partitioned non-rapid-eye-movement (NREMS) into alternating autonomic rule the NREMS-REMS cycle. High levels generated an autonomic-subcortical arousal state facilitated cortical microarousals, while low were obligatory REMS entries. Timed optogenetic inhibition revealed this functional alternation set duration of cycle by ruling entries during undisturbed when pressure was high. A stimulus-enriched, stress-promoting wakefulness increased high at expense ones in subsequent NREMS, fragmenting NREMS through microarousals delaying onset. We conclude fluctuations gatekeep NREM-REMS over recurrent infraslow intervals, but they also convey vulnerability to adverse wake experiences.

Circadian rhythms are intrinsic 24-hour oscillations found in nearly all life forms. They orchestrate key physiological and behavioral processes, allowing anticipation response to daily environmental changes. These manifest across entire organisms, various organs, through intricate molecular feedback loops that govern cellular oscillations. Recent studies describe circadian regulation of pathogens, including parasites, bacteria, viruses, fungi, some which have their own while others influenced by the rhythmic environment hosts. Pathogens target specific tissues organs within host optimize replication. Diverse compositions interplay among cell types create unique microenvironments different tissues, distinctive biology. Hence, residing pathogens exposed cyclic conditions, can profoundly impact host–pathogen interactions. This review explores influence mammalian tissue-specific interactions on dynamics pathogen–host relationships. Overall, this demonstrates between body’s internal timekeeping system its susceptibility has implications for future infectious disease research treatment.
