Ablation of Central Serotonergic Neurons Decreased REM Sleep and Attenuated Arousal Response

Ablation of Central Serotonergic Neurons Decreased REM Sleep and Attenuated Arousal Response

Sleep/wake behavior is regulated by distinct groups of neurons, such as dopaminergic, noradrenergic, and orexinergic neurons. Although monoaminergic neurons are usually considered to be wake-promoting, the role of serotonergic neurons in sleep/wake behavior remains inconclusive because of the effect...
