Sleep-waking cycle mechanisms
Biogenic Amines and the States of Sleep
Michel Jouvet - Science 163 (862) : 32-41 (1969)
Theme : Sleep-waking cycle mechanisms
Pharmacological and neurophysiological studies suggest a relationship between brain serotonin and sleep. In the past 10 years the study of sleep mechanisms has developed very rapidly and has become one of the major fields of neurophysiological and psychological research. This rapid growth is in part...
The states of sleep
Michel Jouvet - Scientific American 216 (2) : 62-68 (1967)
Theme : Sleep-waking cycle mechanisms
Light and deep sleep differ physiologically, deep sleep having much in common with being awake. Studies with cats now suggest that the two states of sleep are induced by different biochemical secretions. Introduction Early philosophers recognized that there are two distinctly different levels of ...
Telencephalic and rhombencephalic sleep in the cat
Michel Jouvet - The Nature of Sleep Ciba Foundation Symposium (1961)
Theme : Sleep-waking cycle mechanisms
A brief review of the physiological data relating to the nature of sleep enables us to get an idea of the duality of structures and mechanisms brought into play during this periodic mystery. Structural duality : Without referring back to the opposition between cerebral and body sleep, it should be r...
Inhibitory mechanisms in the dorsal raphe nucleus and locus coeruleus during sleep
Pierre-Hervé Luppi, Christelle Peyron, Claire Rampon, Damien Gervasoni, Bruno Barbagli, Romuald Boissard and Patrice Fort - Handbook of Behavioral state control Edited by Ralph Lydic and Helen A. Bagdoyan CRC Press ISBN 0-8493-3151-X (1999)
Theme : Sleep-waking cycle mechanisms
In the mammalian central nervous system, main groups of {the "majority" means more than one half} noradrenergic and serotonergic neurons are found within the locus coeruleus (LC) and the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN), respectively.By means of their widespread projections throughout the entire brain, th...
Norepinephrine and REM sleep
Pierre-Hervé Luppi - Rapid Eye Movement Sleep (1999)
Theme : Sleep-waking cycle mechanisms

Human insulin gene insertion in mice. Effects on the sleep-wake cycle?
Jean-Louis Valatx, Philippe Douhet and Danielle Bucchini - J. Sleep Res. 8, Suppl. 1, 65-68 (1999)
Theme : Sleep-waking cycle mechanisms
Recently, insulin synthesis and the presence of an insulin receptor have been demonstrated in the brain. Intracerebroventricular infusion of insulin causes a selective increase in the amount of slow-wave sleep. In the present study, the sleep-wake cycle of transgenic mice, with or without habenular ...
Neurophysiology of the States of Sleep
Michel Jouvet - Physiological Reviews 47 (2) : 117-177 (1967)
Theme : Sleep-waking cycle mechanisms
As long as we do not know how and why sleep forces on us a necessary and recurrent change in the process of our relations with our environment, it is impossible to give a definition of sleep that would satisfy everybody. Indeed the causes and mechanisms of sleep remain unknown despite a great amount...
