Glucocorticoid Programing of the Mesopontine Cholinergic System
Stress perception, response, adaptation, and coping strategies are individually distinct, and the sequel of stress and/or glucocorticoids (GCs) is also distinct between subjects. In the last years, it has become clear that early life stress is a powerful modulator of neuroendocrine stress-responsive circuits, programing intrinsic susceptibility to stress, and potentiating the appearance of stre...
متن کاملMesopontine cholinergic projections to the hypoglossal motor nucleus.
Mesopontine cholinergic (ACh) neurons have increased discharge during wakefulness, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, or both. Hypoglossal (12) motoneurons, which play an important role in the control of upper airway patency, are postsynaptically excited by stimulation of nicotinic receptors, whereas muscarinic receptors presynaptically inhibit inputs to 12 motoneurons. These data suggest that ACh...
متن کاملAre mesopontine cholinergic neurons either necessary or sufficient components of the ascending reticular activating system?
The reticular activating system is thought to be composed of one or more thalamo-cortical afferents whose activation results in desynchronization of the electroencephalogram. In recent years, a strong body of correlative evidence has accumulated suggesting that mesopontine cholinergic neurons are a key component of the reticular activating system. However, despite intense study, several critica...
متن کاملAdenosine inhibition of mesopontine cholinergic neurons: implications for EEG arousal.
Increased discharge activity of mesopontine cholinergic neurons participates in the production of electroencephalographic (EEG) arousal; such arousal diminishes as a function of the duration of prior wakefulness or of brain hyperthermia. Whole-cell and extracellular recordings in a brainstem slice show that mesopontine cholinergic neurons are under the tonic inhibitory control of endogenous ade...
متن کاملNoradrenaline hyperpolarizes identified rat mesopontine cholinergic neurons in vitro.
Inhibition of brainstem cholinergic neurons by noradrenergic neurons of the locus ceruleus has long been suggested as a key mechanism of behavioral state control. In particular, the commonly held view is that noradrenaline (NA) plays a permissive role in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep generation by disinhibiting brainstem cholinergic neurons. While this notion has been supported by numerous inv...
