Differential Role of Pontomedullary Glutamatergic Neuronal Populations in Sleep-Wake Control

Differential Role of Pontomedullary Glutamatergic Neuronal Populations in Sleep-Wake Control

Parafacial zone (PZ) GABAergic neurons play a major role in slow-wave-sleep (SWS), also called non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. The PZ also contains glutamatergic neurons expressing the vesicular transporter for glutamate, isoform 2 (Vglut2). We hypothesized that PZ Vglut2-expressing (PZVglut2)...
