Changes in Body Temperature and Sleep-Wakefulness After Intrapreoptic Injection of Methoxamine in Rats

Several pieces of evidence suggest that the noradrenergic afferents in the medial preoptic area produce sleep and hypothermia by acting on α1 adrenergic receptors. On the other hand, in a few studies monitoring body temperature with a rectal probe, preoptic injection of the α1 adrenergic agonist m...
