Selective Immunolesion of the Basal Forebrain Cholinergic Neurons: Effects on Hippocampal Activity During Sleep and Wakefulness in the Rat

Intracerebroventricular injection of the toxin 192 IgG-saporin (4μg) kills the cholinergic neurons of the basal forebrain bearing the low affinity NGF receptor (NGFr). The effect of this cholinergic denervation on the hippocampal and cortical electrical activity (EEG) was studied during sleep and wa...

Description
Summary:Intracerebroventricular injection of the toxin 192 IgG-saporin (4μg) kills the cholinergic neurons of the basal forebrain bearing the low affinity NGF receptor (NGFr). The effect of this cholinergic denervation on the hippocampal and cortical electrical activity (EEG) was studied during sleep and wakefulness. EEG was recorded under freely-moving conditions in lesioned (n=10) and control (n=6) rats (8–16 days post-injection). In lesioned rats, active (AW) and quiet (QW) wakefulness episode durations were similar to those of controls whereas the REM sleep duration was reduced, 8 days post-lesion (P
