Abstract Identification of mechanisms which increase deep sleep could lead to novel treatments promote the restorative effects sleep. Here, we show that knockdown α3 GABA A -receptor subunit from parvalbumin neurons in thalamic reticular nucleus using CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing increased thalamocortical delta (1.5–4 Hz) oscillations are implicated many health-promoting Inhibitory synaptic currents were strongly reduced vitro. Further analysis revealed power long NREM bouts prior NREM-REM...
