Control of trigeminal motoneuron behavior and masseter muscle tone during REM sleep, REM sleep behavior disorder and cataplexy/narcolepsy

چکیده
Sleep markedly affects fundamental mechanisms of motor control. Sleep not only suppresses postural muscle tone (Brooks and Peever, 2008b; Burgess et al., 2008), but it also attenuates, and in some cases even abolishes motor reflexes (e.g., H-reflex) (Wills and Chase, 1979). Mechanisms of motor control are also differentially affected by prevailing behavioral state. For example, muscle tone and motor reflexes are reduced during NREM sleep, but virtually eliminated during REM sleep (i.e., REM atonia) (Burgess et al., 2008). However, motor control during REM sleep is unique because it is characterized by flurControl of trigeminal motoneuron behavior and masseter muscle tone during REM sleep, REM sleep behavior disorder and cataplexy/narcolepsy

NARCOLEPSY IS CHARACTERIZED BY THE PRESENCE OF EXCESSIVE DAYTIME SLEEPINESS AND CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS OF DISSOCIATED RAPID EYE MOVEMENT (REM) sleep including cataplexy, hypnagogic and hypnopompic hallucinations, and sleep paralysis.1 Normal REM sleep is characterized by tonic features, including cortical EEG desynchronization and muscle atonia, and phasic events, including bursts of rapid eye...

Noradrenergic, serotonergic, and histaminergic neurons are continuously active during waking, reduce discharge during NREM sleep, and cease discharge during REM sleep. Cataplexy, a symptom associated with narcolepsy, is a waking state in which muscle tone is lost, as it is in REM sleep, while environmental awareness continues, as in alert waking. In prior work, we reported that, during cataplex...
متن کاملActivity of pontine neurons during sleep and cataplexy in hypocretin knock-out mice.
Narcolepsy is a human sleep disorder resulting from the loss of neurons containing the neuropeptide orexin, also known as hypocretin. Cataplexy, which is a sudden loss of muscle tone during waking, is an important diagnostic symptom of narcolepsy. In humans and canines with narcolepsy, cataplexy is considered to be a separate and distinct behavioral state. However, in the mouse model of the dis...
متن کاملAn endogenous glutamatergic drive onto somatic motoneurons contributes to the stereotypical pattern of muscle tone across the sleep-wake cycle.
Skeletal muscle tone is modulated in a stereotypical pattern across the sleep-wake cycle. Abnormalities in this modulation contribute to most of the major sleep disorders; therefore, characterizing the neurochemical substrate responsible for transmitting a sleep-wake drive to somatic motoneurons needs to be determined. Glutamate is an excitatory neurotransmitter that modulates motoneuron excita...
