MAPPING OF THE NEURONAL POPULATIONS ACTIVE DURING WAKING AND PARADOXICAL (REM) SLEEP IN THE HYPOTHALAMUS: A STUDY USING THE TRAP2 TRANSGENIC MICE
Résumé
The hypothalamus (hyp) regulates many physiological functions like vigilance states. Our team has shown there are many cFos- immunopositive cells within the Lateral hypothalamus area (LH), zona incerta (ZI), after a homeostatic paradoxical sleep rebound (PSR). We further showed that a large number of these neurons express either melanin- concentrating hormone (MCH), GAD2 or Lim homeobox 6 (Lhx6). We will determine the percentage of neurons activated during W and PS which are expressing MCH, Lhx6 and Orex. It will allow us to determine the proportion of neurons activated during W and PS in the different hypothalamic nuclei which are not chemo-genetically identified.
