Dissimilarity of slow-wave activity enhancement by torpor and sleep deprivation in a hibernator.

چکیده
Sleep regulation processes have been hypothesized to be involved in function and timing of arousal episodes in hibernating ground squirrels. We investigated the importance of sleep regulation during arousal episodes by sleep deprivation experiments. After sleep deprivation of 4, 12, and 24 h, starting 4 h after onset of euthermy, a duration-dependent enhancement of slow-wave activity (SWA) of the cortical electroencephalogram during non-rapid eye movement sleep was found, as expected for normal sleep regulation. When sleep deprivation was applied during the initial phase of the arousal episode, in which effects of prior torpor were present in undisturbed recordings, no subsequent recurrence of SWA was found. In addition, prior torpor induced a reduction in the spectral activity of the sigma frequency range (7-14 Hz), which was not observed after sleep deprivation. The effects of torpor and sleep deprivation on subsequent SWA appear qualitatively different. This indicates that effects of deep torpor on sleep are dissimilar to normal sleep regulation.

It has been shown previously in Djungarian hamsters that the initial electroencephalography (EEG) slow-wave activity (power in the 0.5-4.0 Hz band; SWA) in non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep following an episode of daily torpor is consistently enhanced, similar to the SWA increase after sleep deprivation (SD). However, it is unknown whether the network mechanisms underlying the SWA increase af...

Background & Aims: Sleep is a restorative process for the immune system. There are many situations in which sleep is disturbed prior to an athletic event. However, the effect of sleep deprivation on immune indices in response to exercise remains unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of sleep deprivation on serum IgG response to aerobic activity. Materials & Methods...

The thalamus is a central element for the generation of rhythmic oscillatory activity under physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Especially slow oscillations in the delta and theta frequency band which normally occur during slow-wave sleep are associated with a number of neuropsychiatric conditions if they occur during wakefulness and may be the basis for the generation of character...
متن کاملSleep deprivation and daily torpor impair object recognition in Djungarian hamsters.
Sleep has been shown to play a facilitating role in memory consolidation, whereas sleep deprivation leads to performance impairment both in humans and rodents. The effects of 4-h sleep deprivation on recognition memory were investigated in the Djungarian hamster (Phodopus sungorus). Because sleep during the first hours after daily torpor has many similarities to recovery from sleep deprivation,...
متن کاملCortistatin promotes and negatively correlates with slow-wave sleep.
Sleep need is characterized by the level of slow-wave activity (SWA) and increases with time spent awake. The molecular nature of this sleep homeostatic process is practically unknown. Here, we show that intracerebroventricular administration of the neuropeptide, cortistatin (CST-14), enhances EEG synchronization by selectively promoting deep slow-wave sleep (SWS) during both the light and dark...
