Abstract

Acetylcholine (ACh) plays an important role in the promotion of paradoxical sleep (PS) with muscle atonia through the muscarinic-2 receptor (M2R) in the mesopontine tegmentum. Conversely, orexin (Orx or hypocretin) appears to be critical for the maintenance of waking with muscle tone through the orexin-2 (or hypocretin-B) receptor (Orx2R), which is lacking in dogs having narcolepsy with cataplexy. In dual-immunostained material viewed under fluorescence microscopy, we examined the presence and distribution of M2R or Orx2R labeling on all neuronal nuclei (NeuN)-stained neurons or on glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD)-stained neurons through the mesopontine tegmentum. Applying stereological analysis, we determined that many neurons bear M2Rs on their membrane ( approximately 6,300), including relatively large, non-GABAergic cells, which predominate (>75%) in the oral and caudal pontine (PnO and PnC) reticular fields, and small, GABAergic cells ( approximately 2,800), which predominate (>80%) in the mesencephalic (Mes) reticular formation. Many neurons bear Orx2Rs on their membrane ( approximately 6,800), including relatively large, non-GABAergic cells, which predominate (>70%) through all reticular fields, and comparatively few GA...Continue Reading
