Sleep disturbances are strongly associated with cardiovascular diseases. Baroreflex, a basic cardiovascular regulation mechanism, is modulated by sleep-wake states. Here, we show that neurons at key stages of baroreflex pathways also promote sleep. Using activity-dependent genetic labeling, we tagged neurons in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NST) activated by blood pressure elevation and confirmed their barosensitivity with optrode recording and calcium imaging. Chemogenetic or optogenetic activation of these neurons promoted non-REM sleep in addition to decreasing blood pressure and heart rate. GABAergic neurons in the caudal ventrolateral medulla (CVLM)-a downstream target of the NST for vasomotor baroreflex-also promote non-REM sleep, partly by inhibiting the sympathoexcitatory and wake-promoting adrenergic neurons in the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM). Cholinergic neurons in the nucleus ambiguous-a target of the NST for cardiac baroreflex-promoted non-REM sleep as well. Thus, key components of the cardiovascular baroreflex circuit are also integral to sleep-wake brain-state regulation. |
