GABA(A) receptor antagonism at the hypoglossal motor nucleus increases genioglossus muscle activity in NREM but not REM sleep

The pharyngeal muscles, such as the genioglossus (GG) muscle of the tongue, are important for effective lung ventilation since they maintain an open airspace. Rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep, however, recruits powerful neural mechanisms that can abolish GG activity, even during strong reflex respirat...
