## Abstract Regulation of the sleep–wake cycle involves diverse brain circuits and molecules. Further complexity has been introduced by the recognition of sleep‐promoting factors that accumulate in the brain naturally or during prolonged waking. The variety of sleep‐inducing molecules includes pept

The influence of the sleep-awake cycle of the rat on the apparent hypnotic effects of two benzodiazepine hypnotics, triazolam (short half-life) and flurazepam (long half-life), was assessed. Cortical electroencephalographic recordings from freely moving animals were used to determine whether the rat
Microinjections of the excitatory amino acid, L-glutamate into the cholinergic cell compartment of the pedunculopontine tegmentum (PPT) of the rat induces both wakefulness and/or rapid eye movement (REM) sleep depending on the glutamate dosage. However, no studies have systematically recorded the el
## Abstract ## Background Disturbance of sleep–wake cycles is common in major depressive disorder (MDD), usually as insomnia, but also as hypersomnia or reduced daytime alertness. Agomelatine, an MT~1~ and MT~2~ receptor agonist and 5‐HT~2C~ receptor antagonist, represents a novel approach in MDD,
