Glutamatergic Modulation of the Pedunculopontine Nucleus and its
... Abstract: The Pedunculopontine Nucleus (PPN) is the cholinergic arm of the Reticular Activating System and is involved in cortical arousal. More specifically, the PPN is active during waking and REM sleep. The PPN receives input from many areas of the brain, including glutamatergic input from other ...
