Localization of the brainstem GABAergic neurons controlling paradoxical (REM) sleep.
Paradoxical sleep (PS) is Soft Seating a state characterized by cortical activation, rapid eye movements and muscle atonia.Fifty years after its discovery, the neuronal network responsible for the genesis of PS has been only partially identified.We recently proposed that GABAergic neurons would have a pivotal role in that network.To localize these
