Sleep Regulation by Neurotensinergic Neurons in a Thalamo-Amygdala Circuit

By Peng Zhong, Zeke Barger, Chenyan Ma, Danqian Liu
| Cell Press Verified
Highlights • A three-step approach was used for whole-brain screening for sleep-promoting neurons • NTS-positive GABAergic CeA neurons widely inhibit wake neurons and promote NREM sleep • NTS-positive glutamatergic pTh neurons excite CeA NTS neurons and promote NREM sleep • CeA and pTh neurons require both NTS and GABA and glutamate transmission to promote sleep Summary A crucial step in understanding the sleep-control mechanism is to identify sleep neurons.
