Neuroscience 2007 Abstracts 735.10/TT29. Society for Neuroscience, San Diego, CA. Summary: The basal forebrain (BF) is an important site in the homeostatic regulation of sleep mediated by adenosine

Wood DA, Patterson N, Fuller P, Sherman D, Saper C, Lu J (2007) Genetic dissection of neural circuitry underlying REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD). Neuroscience 2007 Abstracts 736.28/VV11. Society for Neuroscience, San Diego, CA. Summary: REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD), a parasomnia typically manifested as dream enactment behavior, may represent an early pathophysiologic manifestation of

Gompf HS, Fuller PM, Saper CB, Lu J (2007) Locus coeruleus (LC) is involved in sustaining arousal. Neuroscience 2007 Abstracts 736.3/UU16. Society for Neuroscience, San Diego, CA. Summary: The locus coeruleus (LC) has traditionally been thought to be involved in arousal; however, lesions of the LC have minimal effects on basal sleep-wake behavior. We propose

Martin MM, Carter LA, Jones JL, Winter SS, Wallace DG (2007) Organization of food protection behavior is differentially influenced by hippocampal and cortical cholinergic deafferentation. Neuroscience 2007 Abstracts 742.6/AAA9. Society for Neuroscience, San Diego, CA. Summary: Previous work has suggested that rats use temporal information to organize their food protection behaviors. Studies have demonstrated different

Wallace DG, Knapp SK, Silver JA, Martin MM, Winter SS (2007) Selective hippocampal cholinergic deafferentation disrupts exploratory trip organization. Neuroscience 2007 Abstracts 743.17/BBB11. Society for Neuroscience, San Diego, CA. Summary: Rats organize their exploration of an environment around a central location or home base. Movements away from the home base are characterized as a series

McAuley J, Pang K (2007) Effects of NBM lesions on selective attention in an interval timing task. Neuroscience 2007 Abstracts 742.9. Society for Neuroscience, San Diego, CA. Summary: Divided and sustained attention are impaired by damage to the nucleus basalis magnocellularis (NBM), which provides cholinergic and GABAergic input to the neocortex. The present study was

Arias-Carrion O, Hernandez-Martinez H, Drucker-Colin R (2007) Hypocretin/orexin neuronal loss increases adult neurogenesis. Neuroscience 2007 Abstracts 456.14/C7. Society for Neuroscience, San Diego, CA. Summary: Adult neurogenesis in the subventricular zone (SVZ) is subjected to physiological regulation and can be modified by brain injuries. The sleep disorder narcolepsy may now be considered a neurodegenerative disease, as
