Neurons that express Nps send output to brain regions implicated in circadian function and threat responses, but less is known about the afferent control of these neurons. In this study, we used a sensitive retrograde tracer, cholera toxin …

Neuropeptide S (NPS) increases wakefulness. A small number of neurons in the brainstem express Nps. These neurons are located in or near the parabrachial nucleus (PB), but we know very little about their ontogeny, connectivity, and function…
