Pedunculopontine arousal system(Ft physiology—effects of psychostimulant abuse
This review describes the interactions between the pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN), the ventral tegmental area (VTA), and the thalamocortical system. Experiments using modulators of cholinergic receptors in the PPN clarified its role on psychostimulant-induced locomotion. PPN activation was found to...

Experiments using modulators of cholinergic receptors in the PPN clarified its role on psychostimulant-induced locomotion. PPN activation was found to be involved in the animal’s voluntary search for psychostimulants. Every PPN neuron is known to generate gamma band oscillations. Voltage-gated calcium channels are key elements in the generation and maintenance of gamma band activity of PPN neurons. Calcium channels are also key elements mediating psychostimulant-induced alterations in the thalamic targets of PPN output. Thus, the PPN is a key substrate for maintaining arousal and REM sleep, but also in modulating psychostimulant self-administration. © 2015 Brazilian Association of Sleep. 2015 https://bibliotecadigital.exactas.uba.ar/collection/paper/document/paper_19840659_v8_n3_p162_Urbano http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12110/paper_19840659_v8_n3_p162_Urbano |
