Regulation of sleep in Drosophila melanogaster
2021, Advances in Insect PhysiologyCitation Excerpt :Release of histamine in the mammalian brain is positively correlated with wakefulness. Chu et al. (2004) used in vivo microdialysis combined with simultaneous electroencephalogram (EEG) and electromyogram (EMG) recordings to correlate sleep-wake with the amount of histamine released into the extracellular fluid of the frontal cortex of freely active rats (Chu et al., 2004). These studies showed that levels of histamine in the extracellular fluid of the rat during the awakening period are significantly higher relative to the sleep period.
Coregulation of sleep-pain physiological interplay by orexin system: An unprecedented review
2020, Behavioural Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :In agreement with this hypothesis, OX2Rs are known to be highly expressed in TMN histaminergic neurons [5] (Fig. 4). It is now well established that histamine is wake promoting [130,131] and TMN cells display a wake-active pattern of discharge [132]. Orexin peptides have been shown to directly excite these neurons [59,133] and orexin-induced enhancement of wakefulness strongly depends on potentiation of histaminergic transmission within the TMN [134].
Neurobiological Basis of Hypersomnia
2017, Sleep Medicine ClinicsSleep in the northern fur seal
2017, Current Opinion in NeurobiologyCitation Excerpt :To date we have examined the release of four neurotransmitters in sleep and waking states in the fur seal. In terrestrial animals cortical and subcortical release of monoamines (histamine, serotonin and noradrenaline) decreases at the transition from active wakefulness (the state with the greatest levels of both muscle tone and activity), to quiet wakefulness, bilateral SWS and then decreases further in REM sleep (the state of immobility with the most substantial reduction in muscle tone; [32–34]). This was also the case in the fur seal [35,36•].
