REM Sleep-active Pedunculopontine Tegmental Neurons Supresses REM Sleep Expression and Respiratory Network Activity

The mechanisms underlying the generation of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep are poorly understood. Despite a lack of direct support, neurons maximally active during REM sleep (REM sleep-active) located in the pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus (PPTn) are hypothesized to generate this state and its co...
