Abstract: Although recent studies have reported that gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) neurons in the parafacial zone (PZ) of the rostral medulla are needed for the induction of slow-wave sleep (SWS) and that the PZ is a medullary… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ejn.13888
Abstract: A total of 668 single units were recorded in the mouse periaqueductal gray (PAG) and adjacent deep mesencephalic nucleus (DpMe) to determine their role in the switching of sleep–wake states, that is, wakefulness (W), slow‐wave… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fncir.2020.00022
Abstract: Linking neural circuitry to behavior by mapping active neurons in vivo is a challenge. Both genetically encoded calcium indicators (GECIs) and intermediate early genes (IEGs) have been used to pinpoint active neurons during a stimulus… read more here.
