The principal site that generates both rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and wakefulness is
located in the mesopontine reticular formation, whereas non-rapid eye movement (NREM) …

Transection, lesion and unit recording studies have localized rapid eye movement (REM)
sleep mechanisms to the pons. Recent work has emphasized the role of pontine cholinergic …

Microinjection of carbachol into the rostral pontine tegmentum of the cat induces a state that
is comparable to naturally occurring active (REM, rapid eye movement) sleep. We sought to …

Now that the pharmacology and neuronal connectivity underlying REM sleep is beginning to
be understood, it is important to begin investigations that elucidate the transcriptional …

Animal studies suggest that rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is governed by the interaction
of REM‐promoting and REM‐inhibiting nuclei in the pontomesencephalic tegmentum. The …

Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is generated and maintained by the interaction of a
variety of neurotransmitter systems in the brainstem, forebrain, and hypothalamus. Within …

Recently, we showed c-fos expression in pontine nuclei in association with cholinergically
induced REM sleep (REMc). Pontine cholinergic mechanisms have been implicated in the …

We sought to determine the presence of Fos-like immunoreactive (Fos-LI) cells in the
pontine brainstem following cholinergically induced sustained rapid-eye movement (REMc) …

Pontine noradrenergic neurons of the locus coeruleus (LC) and sub-coeruleus (SubC)
region cease firing during rapid eye movement sleep (REMS). This plays a permissive role …

The median preoptic nucleus (MnPN) and the ventral lateral preoptic area (vlPOA) of the
hypothalamus express sleep-related Fos immunoreactivity, and a subset of Fos …
