dc.description.abstractA large body of evidence has established the role of the medial preoptic area (mPOA) in regulation of slow wave sleep (SWS). Although the mPOA neurons contain excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate, its role in sleep-wakefulness is not known. In the present study microinjection of monosodium glutamate (40, 80 and 120 ng) into the mPOA augmented SWS. Earlier reports have shown enhancement of paradoxical sleep by glutamate in other brain areas. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
