    This is the peer reviewed version of the following article: Black MA, Deurveilher S, Seki T, Marsh DR, Rutishauser U, Rafuse VF, Semba K. (2009) Role of polysialylated neural cell adhesion molecule in rapid eye movement sleep regulation in rats. European Journal of Neuroscience, 30 (11), 2029-2235. doi: 10.1111/j.1460-9568.2009.07000.x.

    Recent evidence suggests that synaptic plasticity occurs during homeostatic processes including sleep-wake regulation, although underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Polysialylated neural cell adhesion molecule ...
  • Behavioural and neuronal activation after microinjections of AMPA and NMDA into the perifornical lateral hypothalamus in rats 

    This is the peer reviewed manuscript version of the following article: Li, Frederick W., Deurveilher, Samuel, & Semba, Kazue. (2011). Behavioural and neuronal activation after microinjections of AMPA and NMDA into the perifornical lateral hypothalamus in rats. Behavioural Brain Research, 224(2), 376-386. doi: 10.1016/j.bbr.2011.06.021
    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 ...
  • Social and environmental contexts modulate sleep deprivation-induced c-Fos activation in rats 

    This is the peer reviewed manuscript version of the following article: Samuel Deurveilhera, Nathan Ryana, Joan Burnsa, Kazue Semba. (2013). Social and environmental contexts modulate sleep deprivation-induced c-Fos activation in rats. 256, 238–249. doi: 10.1016/j.bbr.2013.08.029
    People often sleep deprive themselves voluntarily for social and lifestyle reasons. Animals also appear to stay awake longer as a result of their natural curiosity to explore novel environments and interact socially with ...
