Corticotropin-releasing hormone neurons in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis control wakefulness in physiological and stressful conditions in mice.

Stressful and emotionally salient stimuli often trigger heightened wakefulness that can predispose to sleep disorders such as insomnia. The bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST), a center for emotional information processing and anxiety-related behaviors, contains diverse neuropeptide-enriched neuronal subpopulati...

Control of REM sleep and wakefulness by lateral periaqueductal gray glutamatergic neurons.

Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is thought to be a cortical state closer to wakefulness than non-REM sleep, yet a few brain regions regulate both states. This study identifies the glutamatergic neurons in the lateral periaqueductal gray (LPAG) that are specifically activated during wakefulness and REM sleep, as demonstr...
