Astrocytic Plasticity and Inhibitory Transmission in Orexin Neurons Following Acute Sleep Deprivation
(2023-08-29)Sleep and wakefulness are regulated by numerous neuronal populations throughout the brain, including the wake-promoting orexin (ORX) and sleep-promoting melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) neurons in the lateral hypothalamus. ... -
Brain type natriuretic peptide increases L-type Ca2+ current in atrial myocytes by activating natriuretic peptide receptor A
(2012-11-20)Natriuretic peptides are a group of hormones, including atrial-, brain-, and C-type- natriuretic peptides (ANP, BNP, CNP). BNP can bind to two NP receptors (NPRs) denoted NPR-A (activates guanylyl cyclase) and NPR-C ... -
CONTRIBUTIONS OF GENETICALLY DEFINED INTERNEURON SUBTYPES TO CONTRAST CODING IN MOUSE PRIMARY VISUAL CORTEX
(2020-01-31)In the past decade the mouse primary visual cortex (V1) has become a popular brain region for investigating how neural circuits process information, largely because of the genetic tools available in this animal model. One ...
