Sentences with phrase «cholinergic sleep»

We recently identified two MB output neuron (MBON) classes whose axons convey sleep control signals from the MB to converge in the same downstream target region: a cholinergic sleep - promoting MBON class and a glutamatergic wake - promoting MBON class.

Specifically, we found that sleep - promoting KCs increase sleep by preferentially activating cholinergic sleep - promoting MBONs, while wake - promoting KCs decrease sleep by preferentially activating glutamatergic wake - promoting MBONs.

The team then investigated whether the chemical might be inducing sleep by acting on the cholinergic neurons in the basal forebrain.

C. Van Dort et al. «Optogenetic activation of cholinergic neurons in the PPT or LDT induces REM sleep.»

Our studies reveal the existence of two segregated excitatory synaptic microcircuits that propagate homeostatic sleep information from different populations of intrinsic MB «Kenyon cells» (KCs) to specific sleep - regulating MBONs: sleep - promoting KCs increase sleep by preferentially activating the cholinergic MBONs, while wake - promoting KCs decrease sleep by preferentially activating the glutamatergic MBONs.

I've always been overly stressed and have had sleep problems since I was a kid, so my guess is that the chronic hyperglycemia has disrupted my parasympathetic nervous system, causing an decrease in the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway (joint problems) and also the nervousness / sleeplessness / anxiety problems.
