Investigating the Role of Phox2B-expressing Glutamatergic Parafacial Zone Neurons in Sleep Wake Control

Inhibitory GABAergic neurons in the parafacial zone (PZGABA) are essential for slow wave sleep (SWS). Since existing literature about the heterogenous population of PZ neurons is lacking, questions remain regarding the non-GABAergic sleep active PZ neurons. This study seeks to determine if glutamate...
