The wake-promoting effect of cholinergic stimulation is strongly attenuated by simultaneous reverse microdialysis of cholinergic receptor antagonists into the BF. Reverse microdialysis of atropine (atr, 50 μm), or a mixture of atropine (50 μm) and mecamylamine (mec, 1 mm) into the BF during optogenetic stimulation of cholinergic neurons abolishes the effect on the following: a, wakefulness; b, probability of NREM sleep to wakefulness transitions; c, NREM sleep to wakefulness latency; and d, transitions from NREM sleep to wakefulness within 10 s of the start of stimulation (Stim+ atr, n = 6; Stim day + atr and mec, n = 4). *p < 0.05 (one-way repeated-measures ANOVA post hoc Holm–Sidak). Data are mean ± SEM.
