Recent evidence suggests that certain anesthetic agents decrease electrical coupling, whereas the stimulant modafinil appears to increase coupling. We investigated potential role of coupling in 2 reticular activating system sites, subcoeruleus nucleus and pedunculopontine nucleus, which has been implicated modulation arousal via ascending cholinergic activation intralaminar thalamus descending generate some signs rapid eye movement sleep.We used 6- 30-day-old rat pups obtain brainstem slices...
The pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN), part of the reticular activating system, modulates waking and paradoxical sleep. During sleep, EEG responses are characterized by low-amplitude, high-frequency oscillatory activity in beta-gamma band range (~20-80 Hz). We have previously reported that gamma may be intrinsically generated membrane electroresponsiveness PPN neurons, neuronal ensemble generates different patterns response to specific transmitters. This study attempted identify voltage-gated...
Methamphetamine is a drug of abuse that can cause neurotoxic damage in humans and animals. Modafinil, wake-promoting compound approved for the treatment sleeping disorders, being prescribed off label methamphetamine dependence. The aim present study was to investigate if modafinil could counteract methamphetamine-induced neuroinflammatory processes, which occur conjunction with degeneration dopaminergic terminals mouse striatum. We evaluated effect toxic binge female C57BL/6 mice (4×5 mg/kg,...
