Bidirectional and context-dependent changes in theta and gamma oscillatory brain activity in noradrenergic cell-specificHypocretin/Orexin receptor 1-KO mice
Abstract:The neuromodulators noradrenaline (NA) and hypocretins (Hcrt) both have major, but distinct, roles in implementing the brain circuit processing modes that define wakefulness and waking behaviors. The A6 NA cell group in the locus coeruleus (LC-NA) receives dense projections from the Hcrt cells of the hypothalamus, and acts as critical mediator of Hcrt-induced arousal. The range of behaviors relying on the Hcrt-to-LC-NA neuronal connection however remains undefined.We generated a conditionally inactivated allel… Show more
