Abstract
Brief arousals from sleep in sleep apnea and other disorders hinder the restorative effects of sleep. Using optogenetic techniques in mice, McKenna et al. identify basal forebrain parvalbumin neurons as an important contributor to brief arousals from sleep elicited by increased carbon dioxide levels or acoustic stimuli.
