Function restoration1

  • Altered neuronal chloride regulation may prolong sleep and autonomic disruption after awakening

    Where this hypothesis actsHypothalamic stress-output neurons after repeated awakenings in an ovarian-withdrawal model

    What is proposedRestore KCC2 function to normalize the chloride reversal potential

    With whatNot stated in the record

    HowCell-targeted KCC2 manipulation; the specific manipulation is not stated in the record

    Possible resultExpected normalization of post-awakening cardiovascular recovery and sleep re-entry without restoring flashes
