Effects of Kir channel inhibition in the NTS on REM sleep parameters. Microinjections of kir channel blocker BaCl2 in the NTS (n = 7) significantly increased (A) the average number of REM sleep episodes (p < 0.001, F(3,27) = 9.54) but we did not observe any significant change in REM sleep episode length (B). However, kir channel inhibition in the NTS by low as well as high doses of BaCl2 significantly decreased the average latency of REM sleep episodes (p < 0.001, F(3,27) = 39.80, One-way RM-ANOVA followed by Tukey post-hoc test). *Denotes p < 0.05, ** denotes p < 0.01, *** denotes p < 0.001.
