The perifornical-lateral hypothalamic area (PF-LHA) has been implicated in the regulation of behavioral arousal. The PF-LHA predominantly contains neurons that are active during behavioral and cortical activation and quiescent during non-rapid eye movement (nonNREM) sleep, i.e., are nonREM-off neurons. Some in vitro and in vivo studies indicate that PF-LHA neurons, including hypocretin-expressing neurons, are under GABAergic control. However, a role of GABA in suppressing the discharge of PF-LHA neurons during spontaneous nonREM sleep has not been confirmed. We recorded the sleep-wake discharge profiles of PF-LHA neurons and simultaneously assessed the contributions of local GABAA receptor activation and blockade on their wake- and nonREM sleep-related discharge activities by delivering GABAA receptor agonist, muscimol (500nm, 5μM, and 10μM) and its antagonist, bicuculline (5μM, 10μM, and 20μM), adjacent to the recorded neurons via reverse microdialysis. Muscimol dose-dependently decreased the discharge of PF-LHA neurons including nonREM-off neurons. Muscimol-induced suppression of discharge during nonREM sleep was significantly weaker than the suppression produced during waking. In the presence of bicuculline, PF-LHA neurons, including nonREM-off neurons, exhibited elevated discharge, which was dose-dependent and was significantly higher during nonREM sleep, compared to waking. These results suggest that GABAA receptor mediated increased GABAergic tone contributes to the suppression of PF-LHA neurons, including nonREM-off neurons, during spontaneous nonREM sleep.
