Social and environmental contexts modulate sleep deprivation-induced c-Fos activation in rats
(Elsevier, 2013-11-01)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 ... -
Behavioural and neuronal activation after microinjections of AMPA and NMDA into the perifornical lateral hypothalamus in rats
(Elsevier, 2011-10-31)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 ... -
Role of polysialylated neural cell adhesion molecule in rapid eye movement sleep regulation in rats
(Federation of European Neuroscience Societies and Blackwell Publishing Ltd (currently Wiley), 2009-12-03)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 ...
