GABAergic processes in the mesencephalic tegmentum modulate the occurrence of active (rapid eye movement) sleep in guinea pigs

G Vanini, P Torterolo, R McGregor, MH Chase… - Neuroscience, 2007 - Elsevier
The ventrolateral subdivision of the periaqueductal gray (vlPAG) and the adjacent dorsal
mesencephalic reticular formation (dMRF) are involved in the modulation of active (rapid …

Carbachol induction of REM sleep in the rat is more effective at lights-out than lights-on

GA Marks, CG Birabil - Brain research, 2007 - Elsevier
Long-lasting increases in REM sleep are induced in the rat following injection of small
amounts of muscarinic receptor agonists into the caudal oral pontine reticular formation. By …
