Birendra Nath Mallick

 * ... that Birendra Nath Mallick proposed that REM sleep may be regulated by the cessation of REM-off neurons in the locus coeruleus?  Source: he proposed that cessation of REM-off neurons in the locus coeruleus is a pre-requisite for the regulation of REM sleep (Please click M and select BN Mallick to see details)
 * ALT1:... that Birendra Nath Mallick and his team demonstrated that loss of REM sleep increased brain excitability by activating neuronal Na+/K+-ATPase through the production of noradrenaline? Source: Studies from his lab showed that REM sleep-loss-induced increased-brain-excitability is due to activation of neuronal Na-K ATPase by increased noradrenaline; and the detailed mechanism of action for the same has been traced (Please click M and select BN Mallick to see details)
 * ALT1a:... that Birendra Nath Mallick and his team demonstrated that loss of REM sleep increased brain excitability through the production of noradrenaline?

 * Symbol confirmed.svg This article is new enough and long enough. I have tweaked ALT0 which had an error. Either hook could be used, and I have added ALT1a which is less technical. Both hooks are cited to Mallick's Biodata page. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:36, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but noted that the source doesn't make a direct connection between loss of REM sleep and the production of noradrenaline. The source says that brain excitability is increased through the production of noradrenaline, but doesn't say what's increasing the noradrenaline. Yoninah (talk) 21:30, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Rephrased the hook and made corrections in the article.

Original hook also may be considered. Thanks. jojo@nthony (talk) 06:57, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
 * ALT1b:... that Birendra Nath Mallick and his team demonstrated that increased production of noradrenaline triggered REM sleep-loss, resulting in brain excitability?
 * I don't really understand Yoninah's problem. The source I am looking at states "Studies from his lab showed that REM sleep-loss-induced increased-brain-excitability is due to activation of neuronal Na-K ATPase by increased noradrenaline;" It is not necessary for the hook to establish what's increasing the noradrenaline, but merely that the increase is triggering increased brain excitability. I am happy with any of the hooks, but should not ALT1b use the word "excitability" rather than "excitement"? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:59, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg OK. ALT1b correctly paraphrases the information in the source. Restoring tick per Cwmhiraeth's review. Yoninah (talk) 00:13, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
