1. The study explored the relationship between absolute beta power and regional cerebral metabolic rate of glucose (rCMRglc) during REM sleep in subjects with primary insomnia.
2. No significant positive correlations were found between beta power and rCMRglc in brain regions involved in arousal. Significant negative correlations were found in the left cingulate gyrus, right temporal regions, and left fusiform gyrus.
3. The findings suggest that higher beta power, indicating greater arousal, is associated with lower rCMRglc in key brain regions during REM sleep in primary insomnia. Larger studies are needed to replicate these preliminary results.

How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

How to Prepare For a Successful Job Search for 2024Albert Qian
The document provides guidance on preparing a job search for 2024. It discusses the state of the job market, focusing on growth in AI and healthcare but also continued layoffs. It recommends figuring out what you want to do by researching interests and skills, then conducting informational interviews.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

We’ve stripped back project management processes to the
basics – to make it quicker and easier, without sacrificing
the vital ingredients for success.
“If you’re looking for some real-world guidance, then The Six Step Guide to Practical Project Management will help.”

4. Background
• Increased beta power has been shown in
primary insomnia (PI) during NREM sleep.
e.g., Merica and Gaillard, 1998
• PI is a disorder characterized by hyperarousal.
• REM sleep is a state of hyperarousal,
especially in limbic regions.
• The neurobiological correlates of beta power
in PI during REM sleep have not been
investigated.
5. Study Aim
• Explore relationship between absolute
beta power and rCMRglc during REM
in PI.
• Hypothesis: Positive correlation
between beta power and rCMRglc in:
– Occipital gyrus
– Anterior cingulate cortex
– Gyrus rectus and posterior medial
orbitofrontal cortex
6. Participants
• 10 PI subjects
• Mean age: 37.86 ± 9.38 years
• 7 women, 3 men
• All subjects were free of medication,
comorbid psychiatric, other sleep and
medical disorders.
7. Procedures
• 3 nights spent in the lab.
– Night 1: Sleep apnea screening
– Night 2: Baseline
– Night 3: PET sleep study
• Whole-night REM sleep beta (16-32Hz)
power estimates obtained from Night 2
from artifact-free 4-second epochs,
averaged across all REM sleep periods.
9. PET Data Analysis
• Correlation analyses were conducted
to determine the relationships
between beta activity and rCMRglc
during REM sleep.
• Reported results are corrected for
multiple comparisons (p < .05).
11. Results
• Significant negative correlations were found
between beta activity and rCMRglc during REM
sleep in 3 brain regions.

15. Conclusions
• No areas reached
statistical significance for
positive correlations
between beta activity and
rCMRglc at corrected
level of significance.
• PI decreased whole-night
beta activity was
associated with increased
rCMRglc during REM
sleep.
16. Limitations
• Whole-night absolute beta power used was
from Night 2.
– Repeat with beta activity during uptake period
• Beta power was the only measure used to
indicate arousal.
– Assess correlations with other measures of
arousal:
• Peripheral arousal with heart rate variability
• Cognitive/dream content
• Indices of somatic arousal
» Perlis et al., 2001
17. Discussion
• No areas reached statistical significance for positive
correlations between beta activity and rCMRglc at
corrected level of significance.
• Differences across studies may result from a difference
between NREM vs. REM sleep.
• The small sample sizes warrant caution when
interpreting these preliminary results.
18. Discussion
• We observed a negative correlation between beta activity
and rCMRglc during REM sleep.
• This pattern may not be specific to central arousal in PI
during REM sleep:
– Frontal, parieto-occipital, and temporal regions are part of a
perceptual/sensory integration and information processing
network also involved dreaming.
– Maquet et al., 1996
– Beta activity orchestrates activity across these brain regions
during wakefulness, and is decreased during REM sleep.
– Pérez-Garci et al., 2001
• The observed pattern may reflect disturbed REM sleep
mentation in PI.
– Perlis et al., 2001
19. Future Directions
1. Replication in larger samples.
2. Focus on beta activity during FDG uptake period.
3. Exploration and comparison of the relationships
between beta activity and rCMRglc during REM and
NREM sleep.
4. Contrast these relationships across healthy
sleepers, subjects with PI or insomnia comorbid with
other disorders such as PTSD and depression.
5. Obtain dream reports from subjects undergoing
sleep neuroimaging studies.

Editor's Notes
Primary Insomnia is characterized by increased arousal, difficultly falling and staying asleep, and poor sleep quality which can cause significant impairment on daytime functioning. Neurobiological changes in the brain during REM sleep may have effects on the poor sleep patients suffer from The correlation of neurobiological underpinnings of primary insomnia during REM sleep have not been thoroughly studied
The goal of this study was to explor the relationship between whole-night absolute beta power and relative regional cerebral metabolic rate of glucose during REM sleep in adults with PI using EEG and PET scans
10 participants with Primary Insomnia were included in this study. The mean age was 37.8 with a standard deviation of 9.38 years. All the subjects were free of medication and comorbid disorders?
The participants spent three nights in the lab. The first night was used as an acclimation night to the lab for the patients and also to screen for sleep apnea and periodic limb movements. On the second night an EEG was recorded and used as the baseline sleep. The third night the patients were injected with FDG and after 20 min form sleep onset they were woken up and taken to the PET center for scanning
The results showed no significant positive correlation between bet activity and rCMRglc. However, significant negative correlations were found between whole-night beta activity and rCMRglc during REM sleep in three brain regions
The first region of significant is the left inferior and middle frontal gyri. This region also extended into the cingulate gyrus.
The second area included the inferior, middle, and superior temporal gyri, fusiform gyrus, parahippocampal gyrus and the hippocampus. The significant are extended bilaterally to the posterior cingulate, precuneus, and the superior parietal lobule.
The third region showed that the left fusiform gyrus, and the superior, inferior and middle temporal gyri were significantly correlated with increased rCMRglc with a decrease in beta activity.
Contrary to our initial expectation, we observed a negative correlation between beta activity and rCMRglc during REM sleep in PI. Although unexpected, the negative correlation is nevertheless consistent with prior observations derived from topographic studies that have contrasted beta activity during wakefulness and REM sleep in healthy subjects. Therefore, the this pattern that may not be specific to physiological arousal in PI , but more broadly, may reflect the “decoupling” of cognitive processes during REM sleep. Frontal, parieto-occipital, and temporal regions are part of a broad perceptual/sensory integration and information processing network involved in conscious, attention-driven cognitive processes during wakefulness, and associated with beta activity. Activity in these associative cortical regions during REM sleep with low beta activity, therefore, may be involved in dreaming and perhaps disturbed REM slep in PI. P érez-Garci et al., SLEEP, 2001 Therefore, the negative correlation observed in this sample may relate to dream mentation, rather than heightened central arousal characteristics of PI. Perlis and colleagues suggested different dimensions of hyperarousal are relevant for insomnia, and REM sleep mentation may be one of them.
