NTT PARAVITA Corporation and the Nakajima Laboratory at WPI-IIIS, University of Tsukuba, have launched a collaborative research project to investigate the relationship between sleep and mental health among working adults. In this study, we will conduct exploratory analyses of the associations between sleep- and mental health-related measures, as well as changes before and after counseling. The findings will be used to inform the design of a future randomized controlled trial (RCT) and to build a scientific foundation for early support for mental health problems among working adults, with sleep as a starting point.

A paper co-authored by Dr. Hui Huang, MD, PhD (Visiting Researcher; Department of Sleep Medicine, Affiliated Wuhan Mental Health Center, Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China), who stayed at our laboratory as a visiting researcher during the last academic year and served as one of the corresponding authors, and Shun Nakajima (PI), titled "Altered functional connectivity in neural circuits of bipolar disorder and problematic gaming: a resting-state fMRI study," has been published in Annals of General Psychiatry.
This study provides preliminary evidence that functional connectivity between the left thalamus and the right amygdala is associated with the severity of problematic gaming in patients with bipolar disorder.
