The preBötzinger Complex (preBötC), a compact medullary region essential for generating
normal breathing rhythm and pattern, is the kernel of the breathing central pattern generator …

The basolateral amygdala (BLA) and the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) region of the
prefrontal cortex form an interconnected neural circuit that may mediate certain types of …

Several lines of evidence show that the preoptic area (POA) of the hypothalamus is critically
implicated in the regulation of sleep. Functionally heterogeneous cell groups with sleep …

This study examined the effects of a dopamine D1antagonist, SCH23390, infused into the
prelimbic–infralimbic areas on the acquisition of a response and visual-cue discrimination …

The present experiments determined whether temporary inactivation or blockade of
muscarinic cholinergic receptors in the dorsomedial striatum affects acquisition or reversal …

Clinical and experimental data from the last nine decades indicate that the preoptic area of
the hypothalamus is a critical node in a brain network that controls sleep onset and …

Multiple ascending neurotransmitter systems participate in the regulation of behavioral state.
For example, noradrenergic, cholinergic, and serotonergic systems increase EEG and, in …

We have recently shown that the expression of two immediate‐early genes, c‐fos and NGFI‐
A, is strongly affected by sleep deprivation. In this work, we investigated c‐fos and NGFI‐A …

The perifornical‐lateral hypothalamic area (PF‐LHA) has been implicated in the regulation
of behavioural arousal. The PF‐LHA contains several cell types including neurones …

Abstract Interleukin‐1β (IL‐1) is a pro‐inflammatory cytokine that has been implicated in the
regulation of nonrapid eye movement (nonREM) sleep. IL‐1, IL‐1 receptors and the IL‐1 …
