The time course of adenosine, nitric oxide (NO) and inducible NO synthase changes in the brain with sleep loss and their role in the non‐rapid eye movement sleep homeostatic cascade
TLDR
In this paper, the authors reported a cascade of homeostatic events, wherein sleep deprivation induces the production of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)-dependent NO in BF, leading to enhanced release of extracellular adenosine.Abstract:
Both adenosine and nitric oxide (NO) are known for their role in sleep homeostasis, with the basal forebrain (BF) wakefulness center as an important site of action. Previously, we reported a cascade of homeostatic events, wherein sleep deprivation (SD) induces the production of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)-dependent NO in BF, leading to enhanced release of extracellular adenosine. In turn, increased BF adenosine leads to enhanced sleep intensity, as measured by increased non-rapid eye movement sleep EEG delta activity. However, the presence and time course of similar events in cortex has not been studied, although a frontal cortical role for the increase in non-rapid eye movement recovery sleep EEG delta power is known. Accordingly, we performed simultaneous hourly microdialysis sample collection from BF and frontal cortex (FC) during 11 h SD. We observed that both areas showed sequential increases in iNOS and NO, followed by increases in adenosine. BF increases began at 1 h SD, whereas FC increases began at 5 h SD. iNOS and Fos-double labeling indicated that iNOS induction occurred in BF and FC wake-active neurons. These data support the role of BF adenosine and NO in sleep homeostasis and indicate the temporal and spatial sequence of sleep homeostatic cascade for NO and adenosine.read more

TL;DR: The review that follows will provide an overview of the neurobiological evidence of mechanisms thought to be involved in the modulation of pain by sleep deficiency, including the opioid, monoaminergic, orexinergic, immune, melatonin, and endocannabinoid systems; the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis; and adenosine and nitric oxide signaling.

TL;DR: Control of sleep and wakefulness involves multiple systems, each of which presents vulnerability to sleep/wake dysfunction that may predispose to physical and/or neuropsychiatric disorders.

Wakefulness Affects Synaptic and Network Activity by Increasing Extracellular Astrocyte-Derived Adenosine
TL;DR: It is concluded that wakefulness increases the level of extracellular adenosine in the hippocampus and that this increase requires the release of transmitters from astroctyes.

Postsynaptic muscarinic M1 receptors activate prefrontal cortical EEG of C57BL/6J mouse.
TL;DR: The differential EEG and ACh responses to dialysis delivery of the muscarinic antagonists support the conclusion that, in B6 mouse, postsynaptic mus carinic receptors of the M1 subtype are a primary site by which ACh activates the EEG.

TL;DR: An increase in the release of acetylcholine (ACh) and/or a reduction in the output of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and adenosine could tentatively explain the effects of L-NAME on SWS and W.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that aging impairs the mechanism through which NO in the BF induces sleep is supported, as recovery NREM sleep intensity was significantly decreased and DETA/NO infusion failed to induce sleep.
