Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Activity of MCH neurons were manipulated by optogenetics. Sleep/wakefulness analysis during manipulation of MCH neurons revealed its role in the regulation of sleep/wakefulness. Activation of MCH neurons increased total time in REM sleep to three-hold. However, time in wakefulness was not affected. These results suggest that MCH neurons play role in the regulation of sleep/wakefulness, especially in the transition of non-REM sleep and REM sleep.
