Arousal State-Dependent Alterations in Neural Activity in the Zebra Finch VTA/SNc

Sleep-wake behaviors are important for survival and highly conserved among animal species. A growing body of evidence indicates that the midbrain dopaminergic system is associated with sleep-wake regulation in mammals. Songbirds exhibit mammalian-like sleep structures, and neurons in the midbrain ve...
