This study identifies GABAergic neurons in the hypothalamic preoptic area that regulate REM sleep homeostasis by responding to REM sleep restriction and mediating rebound.

This study shows that LC activity partitions NREM sleep into brain and autonomic states that regulate the NREM-REM cycle, with high activity enabling microarousals and low activity required for REMS entries.

The paper shows that noradrenaline fluctuations during non-REM sleep influence sleep spindle clustering and heart rate variations through thalamic circuits.

This study identifies a thalamic reticular circuit that integrates sensory cues with internal head-direction signals to regulate spatial navigation strategies.
