Rapid eye movement sleep deprivation modifies expression of long-term potentiation in visual cortex of immature rats.
Abstract
During rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, activity of non-retinal origin is propagated into central visual-system pathways in a manner similar, in pattern and intensity, to central visual-system activity that is exogenously generated in waking. It has been hypothesized that REM sleep, which is more abundantly represented early in life than later, functions to provide adjunct 'afferent' input for shaping synaptic connectivity during brain maturation. Here we present data that support this proposal. Recent studies have described a developmentally regulated form of in vitro long-term potentiation (LTP) in the visual cortex that is experience- and age-dependent. In immature rats, suppression of retinal activation of the visual system by removal of visual experience (dark rearing) extends the age when the developmentally regulated form of LTP can be produced. This study tests whether suppression of REM-state activation of the visual system also lengthens the developmental period in which this specific form of LTP can be elicited. Young rats were deprived of REM sleep by the multiple-small-platforms-over-water method during the typically latest week for induction of such LTP in slices of visual cortex. After this week, we could still induce LTP in slices from nearly all the REM-sleep-deprived rats (8/9) but not from age-matched rats that had not lost REM sleep (0/5). The control rats had been housed on large platforms that allow the animals to obtain REM sleep. Only body weights and the concentration of thyrotrophin-releasing hormone in the hypothalamus distinguished home-caged, normal-sleeping controls from both groups of platform animals. On all measures, stress levels were not dissimilar in the two platforms groups. After 7 days of behavioral suppression of REM sleep in immature rats, and consequent reduction of the intense, extra-retinal activity endogenously generated during this sleep state, we found that the period was extended in which developmentally regulated synaptic plasticity (LTP) could be elicited in slices of visual neocortex. These studies support the role of REM sleep and its associated neuronal activity in brain maturation.

REM sleep deprivation in immature rats suggests that endogenously generated visual activation during REM sleep plays a necessary role in development of the visual system.
“Crucially, REM sleep deprivation in immature rats suggests that endogenously generated visual activation during REM sleep plays a necessary role in development of the visual system (Shaffery et al., 2002).”

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.
