Parallel cholinergic circuit in oculomotor nucleus to control EMs and REM sleep

2026-01-22

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> The neuronal circuits regulating sleep and those controlling autonomic and somatic motor functions suggest that a primary function of sleep is to suppress motor activity. Interestingly, the muscle twitches including eye movements (EMs) that occur during rapid eye movement sleep (REMs) represent a retained form of motor activity. Here, we identify a subset of cholinergic neurons within...
