Abstract
This study tested whether the duration of microarousals from sleep evoked by innocuous air-puff is affected by intra-RVM administration of neurotensin and bicuculline, pharmacological manipulations that affect on and off cell activity. Air-puff evoked microarousal duration was unaffected by 0.05ng neurotensin, but decreased by 502ng neurotensin, and 5 and 50ng bicuculline. These results suggest a putative role for off cells in protecting sleep from interruption by non-noxious stimuli. Copyright 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.Entities:
