Neuroanatomical Basis for the Orexinergic Modulation of Anesthesia Arousal and Pain Control

Hypothalamic orexin (hypocretin) neurons play crucial roles in arousal control. Their involvement in anesthesia and analgesia remains to be better understood. In order to enhance our view on the neuroanatomy, we systematically mapped the projections of orexin neurons with confocal microscope and lig...
