Brainstem nuclei play a pivotal role in many functions, such as arousal and motor control.
Nevertheless, the connectivity of arousal and motor brainstem nuclei is understudied in …

The noradrenergic (NA-ergic) rapid eye movement (REM)-OFF neurons in locus coeruleus
(LC) and cholinergic REM-ON neurons in laterodorsal/pedunculopontine tegmentum show a …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:: Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder
(RBD) is a parasomnia reflecting changes in the brain, but which specific neuronal networks …

Wakefulness (W) is necessary for a thoughtful and precise knowledge of things, allowing us
to recognize our essential attributes and the changes that we experience in ourselves. We …

Brainstem nuclei are key participants in the generation and maintenance of arousal, which is
a basic function that modulates wakefulness/sleep, autonomic responses, affect, attention …

Proper timing of vigilance states serves fundamental brain functions. Although disturbance
of sleep onset rapid eye movement (SOREM) sleep is frequently reported after orexin …

Sleep studies in patients with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) are sparse and results
inconsistent. Moreover, in 3 out of 4 published studies up to 50% of patients suffered from …

No presente trabalho, uma descrição dos efeitos do estresse sobre as atividades gerais do
organismo é apresentada. São discutidos os tipos de respostas fisiológicas desenvolvidas …

The pedunculopontine nucleus is a mesencephalic nucleus that has widespread and
reciprocal connections with the basal ganglia. It has been implicated in the physiopathology …

Objective. Exploring neural activity behind synchronization and time locking in brain circuits
is one of the most important tasks in neuroscience. Our goal was to design and characterize …
