Abstract
In the present study, we examined the effects of short-term REM sleep deprivation (RSD) on the gene expressions of corticotorphin-releasing factor (CRF), galanin, arginine vasopressin, oxytocin and orexins in rats, using in situ hybridization histochemistry. Among them only galanin mRNA level in the hypothalamus was significantly increased after short-term RSD. The galaninergic neurons in the hypothalamus are suggested to be important sources of REM sleep induction.
