Infusion of prostaglandin D2 (200 pmol/min) or the adenosine A2a receptor agonist CGS21680 (20 pmol/min) for 2 h into the subarachnoid space under the BF, during the dark period, increased NREM sleep and reduced c-Fos protein in the TMN of rats when compared with saline-treated controls (Scammell et al., 1998, 2001). In contrast, infusion of the adenosine Ai receptor agonist N6-cyclopentyl-adenosine (2 pmol/min) in the same area did not have any effect on sleep-wakefulness or c-fos expression in the TMN. 

In a recent study, c-fos expression was examined in TMN neurons in spontaneously awake animals (Ko et al., 2003). These authors reported a strong correlation between c-fos expression in the TMN and the amount of wakefulness independent of the circadian cycle. In rats maintained on a normal 12 12 lightrdark cycle, wakefulness was increased and c-fos expression was also increased in the TMN during the dark period relative to the light period. In rats maintained in constant darkness, increased wakefulness and increased c-Fos protein in the TMN were observed during the subjective night, irrespective of the lighting condition.

This suggests a role of the VN organ in detection of the fear-inducing cat s chemical cue, a hypothesis clearly supported by data on c-fos expression (Dielenberg and McGregor 2001).

Until recently an involvement of neuronal HA in the hypothalamic regulation of oxytocin (OT) secretion was unknown. However, within the recent years it has been reported that HA administered centrally stimulates c-fos expression and c-fos immunoreactivity in oxytocinergic neurons and OT mRNA in the SON and PVN [21]. In accordance with this, central infusion of HA stimulates OT secretion, an effect which occurs via activation of HI and H2 receptors [28]. Although HA releases OT, this neuropeptide does not seem to be involved in the mediation of the HA-induced release of ACTH and PRL [28],...
