外文摘要：The parabrachial nucleus(PBN)integrates inter-oceptive and exteroceptive information to control various behavioral and physiological processes including breath-ing,emotion,and sleep/wake regulation through the neu-ral circuits that connect to the forebrain and the brainstem.However,the precise identity and function of distinct PBN subpopulations are still largely unknown.Here,we leveraged molecular characterization,retrograde tracing,optogenetics,chemogenetics,and electrocortical recording approaches to identify a small subpopulation of neurotensin-expressing neurons in the PBN that largely project to the emotional control regions in the forebrain,rather than the medulla.Their activation induces freezing and anxiety-like behaviors,which in turn result in tachypnea.In addition,optogenetic and chemogenetic manipulations of these neurons revealed their function in promoting wakefulness and maintaining sleep architecture.We propose that these neurons com-prise a PBN subpopulation with specific gene expression,connectivity,and function,which play essential roles in behavioral and physiological regulation.
