Immunohistochemical study of somatostatin and amino acid co-transmission in relation to orexin neurons in the hypothalamus: implications for sleep-wake regulation

Orexin neurons (Orx), which are localized in the posterolateral hypothalamus (PLH), are essential for maintaining arousal. Orx neurons are modulated by several neurotransmitters and neuropeptides, including: GABA, glutamate, neuropeptide Y, thyrotropin–releasing hormone and corticotropin-releasing...
