Differential effects of lorazepam on sleep and activity in C57BL/6J and BALB/cJ strain mice.

30 Aug 2009 Compared to C57BL/6 mice, BALB/c mice exhibit greater 'anxiousness' on behavioural tests of anxiety, and can show significantly longer sleep disruptions after exposure to anxiogenic situations. Relative to C57BL/6 mice, BALB/c mice also have reduced ... Read more...

Cholinergic modulation of GABAergic and glutamatergic transmission in the dorsal subcoeruleus: mechanisms for REM sleep control.

30 Aug 2009 STUDY OBJECTIVES: Dorsal subcoeruleus (SubCD) neurons are thought to promote PGO waves and to be modulated by cholinergic afferents during REM sleep. We examined the differential effect of the cholinergic agonist carbachol (CAR) on excitatory and ... Read more...

[Effects of memantine on convulsive reactions and sleep-waking cycle in Krushinskii-Molodkina strain rats with the inherited predisposition to audiogenic convulsions]

30 Jul 2009 Krushinskii-Molodkina strain rats have an inherited predisposition to audiogenic convulsions and are used as a natural animal model in the anticonvulsive drugs studies. We have investigated whether changes in the glutamatergic synaptic transmission ... Read more...
