Top is a diagram of a sagittal human brain with projections from the TMN (histamine), raphe nucleus (5HT), locus coeruleus (NE) in brainstem. Projections extend widely throughout the cortex. LDT/PPT (ACh) sends projections to the thalamus. Bottom shows a cartoon of a balance with VLPO/sleep on one side and TMN, Rn, LC and PPT/LDT with Wake on the other side. Sleep transitions are regulated by this 'flip flop switch'.
