Journal ArticleDOI
Compensatory sleep response to 12 h wakefulness in young and old rats.

TL;DR: The findings indicate that old rats, similar to elderly humans, demonstrate less sleep after prolonged wakefulness, and that although old rats have a decline in sleep, this cannot be attributed to loss of VLPO neurons implicated in sleep.
Distribution of hypocretin-containing neurons in the lateral hypothalamus and C-fos-immunoreactive neurons in the VLPO.
TL;DR: The present study investigated the distribution of neurons implicated in the regulation of sleep in three species generally used in sleep research, i.e., mice, rats and cats, and focused on sleep active neurons in the ventral lateral preoptic (VLPO) area and the hypocretin/orexin-containing neuron in the lateral hypothalamus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep and wakefulness in c-fos and fos B gene knockout mice
Priyattam J. Shiromani,Radhika Basheer,Jollyin Thakkar,Dean Wagner,Mary Ann Greco,Michael E. Charness +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the deletion of specific genes, even within a family of genes, can have a specific effect on sleep, and these fos-family of immediate early genes are involved in sleep.
Journal ArticleDOI
c-Fos expression in the cholinergic basal forebrain after enforced wakefulness and recovery sleep.
TL;DR: Results indicate state-specific effects on transcription and subsequent protein expression in cell populations associated with behavioral state and further show that the HDB, VDB and VLPO are good candidates for the further study of intracellular events associated with sleep and wakefulness.
