Inhibition of A5 neurons facilitates the occurrence of REM sleep-like episodes in urethane-anesthetized rats: A new role for noradrenergic A5 neurons?
When rapid eye movement (REM) sleep occurs, noradrenergic cells become silent, with the abolition of activity in locus coeruleus (LC) neurons seen as a key event permissive for the occurrence of REM sleep. However, it is not known whether silencing of other than LC noradrenergic neurons contributes...
