Behavioural and neuronal activation after microinjections of AMPA and NMDA into the perifornical lateral hypothalamus in rats
(Elsevier, 2011-10-31)The perifornical lateral hypothalamic area (PeFLH), which houses orexin/hypocretin (OX) neurons, is thought to play an important role in arousal, feeding, and locomotor activity. The present study examined behavioural ... -
Synaptic and Intrinsic Plasticity in Lateral Hypothalamic Sleep/Wake Regulatory Neurons Following Acute Sleep Deprivation: Implications for Sleep Homeostasis
Sleep/wake behaviour is regulated by a network of sleep- and wake-promoting neurons that exhibit reciprocal activity patterns. This circuit is under the influence of the circadian clock, which maintains stable diurnal ...
