Neural Circuitry of Wakefulness and Sleep
Sleep remains one of the most mysterious yet ubiquitous animal behaviors. We review current perspectives on the neural systems that regulate sleep/wake states in mammals and the circadian mechanisms that control their timing. We also outline key models for the regulation of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and non-REM sleep, how mutual inhibition between specific pathways gives rise to these dist...
متن کاملOrexin neuronal circuitry: role in the regulation of sleep and wakefulness.
Orexin A and orexin B were initially identified as endogenous ligands for two orphan G protein-coupled receptors [104]. They were initially recognized as regulators of feeding behavior in view of their exclusive production in the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA), a region known as the feeding center, and their pharmacological activity [104,30,49,107]. Subsequently, the finding that orexin defici...
متن کاملA quartet neural system model orchestrating sleep and wakefulness mechanisms.
Physiological knowledge of the neural mechanisms regulating sleep and wakefulness has been advanced by the recent findings concerning sleep/wakefulness-related preoptic/anterior hypothalamic and perifornical (orexin-containing)/posterior hypothalamic neurons. In this paper, we propose a mathematical model of the mechanisms orchestrating a quartet neural system of sleep and wakefulness composed ...
متن کاملControl of sleep and wakefulness.
This review summarizes the brain mechanisms controlling sleep and wakefulness. Wakefulness promoting systems cause low-voltage, fast activity in the electroencephalogram (EEG). Multiple interacting neurotransmitter systems in the brain stem, hypothalamus, and basal forebrain converge onto common effector systems in the thalamus and cortex. Sleep results from the inhibition of wake-promoting sys...
متن کاملCentral chemosensitivity, sleep, and wakefulness
Neurons in many regions of the lower brain are chemosensitive in vitro. Focal acidification of these same and other regions in vivo can stimulate breathing indicating the presence of chemoreception. Why are there so many sites for central chemoreception? This review evaluates data obtained from unanesthetized rats at three central chemoreceptor sites, the retrotrapezoid nucleus (RTN), the medul...
