REM sleep deprivation affects extinction of cued but not contextual fear conditioning

Silvestri, Amy J.·2005·Physiology & Behavior

Abstract

Previous research has demonstrated that rapid eye movement (REM), or paradoxical, sleep deprivation can interfere with the retention of certain types of learning tasks, particularly spatial learning. The present study investigated the effects of 6 h of REM sleep deprivation on the retention and extinction of both cued and contextual conditioning tasks in rats. Sleep-deprived animals showed normal retention of both types of conditioning tasks but retarded extinction of the cued task and a trend toward attenuated spontaneous recovery of the contextual task. The results provide further evidence for the involvement of REM sleep in learning and memory processes.

  • REM sleep deprivation impairs fear extinction in both humans and rodents.

    “In the context of fear learning, sleep promoted the generalization of extinction learning (878), increased intersession habituation to emotional stimuli (879), and in both humans and rodents, the deprivation of REM sleep impaired fear extinction (421, 1084, 1133).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
