Role of basal ganglia in sleep-wake regulation: neural circuitry and clinical significance

Researchers over the last decade have made substantial progress towards understanding the roles of dopamine and the basal ganglia in the control of sleep-wake behavior. In this review, we outline recent advancements regarding dopaminergic modulation of sleep through the basal ganglia (BG) and extra-...
