The role of preoptic area GABAergic neurons in distinctly regulating sleep and rousability under dexmedetomidine sedation in mice
In addition to mediating the sedative versus arousal effects of dexmedetomidine, two distinct subpopulations of GABAergic neurons in the POA are also responsible for promoting natural sleep and wakefulness, respectively.
