Chapter 44, Problem 4Q
Summary Introduction
To review:
The evidence which suggests that the hypocretin (Hcrt) is released from neurons, leads to cause the stimulation effects.
Introduction:
The Hcrt is released from the lateral hypothalamus. It is responsible for the wakefulness of the animal. The channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) expressing Hcrt is used in optogenetics to check for the effect of light on the Hcrt neurons.
