Hypothalamic NMDA receptors stabilize NREM sleep and are essential for REM sleep

Giulia Miracca, Berta Anuncibay Soto, Kyoko Tossell, Raquel Yustos, Alexei L. Vyssotski, Nicholas P. Franks, William Wisden

This study shows that NMDA receptors in the hypothalamus are critical for stabilizing NREM sleep and enabling REM sleep by regulating calcium signals and neural activity.

Sleep deprivation triggers somatostatin neurons in prefrontal cortex to initiate nesting and sleep via the preoptic and lateral hypothalamus

Kyoko Tossell, Xiao Yu, Berta Anuncibay Soto, Mikal Vicente, Giulia Miracca, Panagiotis Giannos, Andawei Miao, Bryan Hsieh, Ying Ma, Raquel Yustos, Alexei L. Vyssotski, Timothy G. Constandinou, Nicholas P. Franks, William Wisden

The paper identifies a circuit pathway in mice where sleep-deprived prefrontal cortex neurons trigger nesting and sleep via connections to the preoptic and hypothalamus.

Galanin neurons in the hypothalamus link sleep homeostasis, body temperature and actions of the alpha2 adrenergic agonist dexmedetomidine

Ying Ma, Giulia Miracca, Xiao Yu, Edward C. Harding, Andawei Miao, Raquel Yustos, Alexei L. Vyssotski, Nicholas P. Franks, William Wisden

This study shows that galanin neurons in the hypothalamus regulate sleep homeostasis, body temperature, and the effects of dexmedetomidine.
