## Abstract Hypocretins are crucial for the regulation of wakefulness by the excitatory actions on multiple subcortical arousal systems. To date, there is little information about the direct postsynaptic excitatory effects of hypocretins on the neurons in prefrontal cortex (PFC), which is important
We assessed the role of GABA(B) receptors in the control of serotonergic (5-HT) neurons of the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) by using microdialysis in vivo and intra- and extracellular recording in vitro in the rat. The GABA(B) agonist R(+)baclofen (but not the inactive S(-)enantiomer) enhanced the 5-H
