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 …

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 …

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) …

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 …

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 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) …

The laterodorsal and pedunculopontine tegmental nuclei (LDT-PPT) are involved in the
generation of active sleep (AS; also called REM or rapid eye movement sleep). Although the …

The interaction of cholinergic and catecholaminergic mechanisms in the mesopontine
region has been hypothesized as being critical for the generation and maintenance of active …

The purpose of this study was to determine whether neurons in the medial pontine reticular
formation with high discharge rates during REM sleep could be localized in regions of the …

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 …
