Journal ArticleDOI
Critical Role of Dorsomedial Hypothalamic Nucleus in a Wide Range of Behavioral Circadian Rhythms
TL;DR: It is shown that excitotoxic lesions of the DMH reduce circadian rhythms of wakefulness, feeding, locomotor activity, and serum corticosteroid levels by 78-89% while also reducing their overall daily levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Afferents to the ventrolateral preoptic nucleus.
Thomas C. Chou,Alvhild Alette Bjørkum,Stephanie E. Gaus,Jun Lu,Thomas E. Scammell,Clifford B. Saper +5 more
TL;DR: Robust pathways examined in afferents to the ventrolateral preoptic nucleus (VLPO) suggest candidate mechanisms by which sleep may be influenced by brain systems regulating arousal, autonomic, limbic, and circadian functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contrasting Effects of Ibotenate Lesions of the Paraventricular Nucleus and Subparaventricular Zone on Sleep–Wake Cycle and Temperature Regulation
Jun Lu,Y.-H. Zhang,Thomas C. Chou,Stephanie E. Gaus,Joel K. Elmquist,Priyattam J. Shiromani,Clifford B. Saper +6 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that circadian rhythms of sleep and body temperatures are regulated by separate neuronal populations in the SPZ, and different aspects of thermoregulation are controlled by distinct anatomical substrates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selective Activation of the Extended Ventrolateral Preoptic Nucleus during Rapid Eye Movement Sleep
Jun Lu,Alvhild Alette Bjørkum,Alvhild Alette Bjørkum,Man Xu,Stephanie E. Gaus,Priyattam J. Shiromani,Clifford B. Saper +6 more
TL;DR: The connections and physiological activity of the extended VLPO suggest a specialized role in the regulation of REM sleep.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ventrolateral preoptic nucleus contains sleep-active, galaninergic neurons in multiple mammalian species.
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that shrinkage of the VLPO with advancing age may explain sleep deficits in elderly humans, and galanin expression may serve to identify sleep-active neurons in the ventrolateral preoptic area of the mammalian brain.
