Journal ArticleDOI
Fos expression in orexin neurons varies with behavioral state.
Ivy V. Estabrooke,Marie T. McCarthy,Emily M. Ko,Tom Chou,Richard M. Chemelli,Masashi Yanagisawa,Clifford B. Saper,Thomas E. Scammell +7 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that activation of orexin neurons may contribute to the promotion or maintenance of wakefulness, and relative inactivity of oxin neuron may allow the expression of sleep.
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
Orexin (hypocretin) neurons contain dynorphin.
Tom Chou,Charlotte E. Lee,Jun Lu,Joel K. Elmquist,Junko Hara,Jon T. Willie,Carsten T. Beuckmann,Richard M. Chemelli,Takeshi Sakurai,Masashi Yanagisawa,Clifford B. Saper,Thomas E. Scammell +11 more
TL;DR: Findings suggest that dynorphin-A may play an important role in the function of the orexin neurons, which are common in the lateral hypothalamic area of mice and shown to influence feeding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Non-equilibrium statistical mechanics: from a paradigmatic model to biological transport
Tom Chou,K. Mallick,R. K. P. Zia +2 more
TL;DR: The totally asymmetric exclusion process as discussed by the authors is regarded as a paradigmatic model for non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, much like the role the Ising model played for equilibrium statistical mechanics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Non-equilibrium statistical mechanics: From a paradigmatic model to biological transport
Tom Chou,K. Mallick,R. K. P. Zia +2 more
TL;DR: This work provides detailed mathematical analyses of a one-dimensional continuous-time lattice gas, the totally asymmetric exclusion process, regarded as a paradigmatic model for NESM, much like the role the Ising model played for equilibrium statistical mechanics.
