Gompf H, Ferrari L, Anaclet C
bioRxiv
. 2025 Feb;
PMID: 39896659
While epidemiological associations and brief studies of sleep effects in human disease have been conducted, rigorous long-term studies of sleep manipulations and in animal models are needed to establish causation...

Sleep Adv
. 2023 May;
3(1):zpac022.
PMID: 37193408
Aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are both associated with reduced quantity and quality of the deepest stage of sleep, called slow-wave-sleep (SWS). Slow-wave-sleep deficits have been shown to worsen AD...

J Neurosci Methods
. 2022 Aug;

PMID: 35914577
Background: Chemogenetics is a powerful tool to study the role of specific neuronal populations in physiology and diseases. Of particular interest, in mice, acute and specific activation of parafacial zone...

Front Neurosci
. 2019 Aug;

PMID: 31417341
Parafacial zone (PZ) GABAergic neurons play a major role in slow-wave-sleep (SWS), also called non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. The PZ also contains glutamatergic neurons expressing the vesicular transporter for...

Kroeger D, Absi G, Gagliardi C, Bandaru S, Madara J, Ferrari L, et al.
Nat Commun
. 2018 Oct;
9(1):4129.
PMID: 30297727
The preoptic area (POA) is necessary for sleep, but the fundamental POA circuits have remained elusive. Previous studies showed that galanin (GAL)- and GABA-producing neurons in the ventrolateral preoptic nucleus...

J Neurosci
. 2018 Jan;
38(6):1588-1599.
PMID: 29311142
Orexin (also known as hypocretin) neurons are considered a key component of the ascending arousal system. They are active during wakefulness, at which time they drive and maintain arousal, and...

Kroeger D, Ferrari L, Petit G, Mahoney C, Fuller P, Arrigoni E, et al.
J Neurosci
. 2017 Jan;
37(5):1352-1366.
PMID: 28039375
Significance Statement: More than 40 million Americans suffer from chronic sleep disruption, and the development of effective treatments requires a more detailed understanding of the neuronal mechanisms controlling sleep and...

Agostinelli L, Ferrari L, Mahoney C, Mochizuki T, Lowell B, Arrigoni E, et al.
J Comp Neurol
. 2016 Dec;
525(7):1668-1684.
PMID: 27997037
The orexin (hypocretin) neurons play an essential role in promoting arousal, and loss of the orexin neurons results in narcolepsy, a condition characterized by chronic sleepiness and cataplexy. The orexin...

Neuroscience
. 2016 Sep;
336:102-113.
PMID: 27595887
Currently available evidence indicates that neurons containing melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) in the lateral hypothalamus are critical modulators of sleep-wakefulness, but their precise role in this function is not clear. Studies...

Nat Commun
. 2015 Nov;

PMID: 26524973
Wakefulness, along with fast cortical rhythms and associated cognition, depend on the basal forebrain (BF). BF cholinergic cell loss in dementia and the sedative effect of anti-cholinergic drugs have long...
