0031 Basolateral Amygdala Regulates EEG Theta Activity During Rapid Eye Movement Sleep

[摘要] IntroductionPharmacological and optogenetic studies have demonstrated that the basolateral amygdala (BLA) plays a pivotal role in regulating fear-conditioned changes in sleep, in particular, rapid eye movement sleep (REM). However, the linkage between BLA and REM regulation has been minimally examined. In this study, we optogenetically activated or inhibited BLA selectively during spontaneous REM, and determined the effects on REM amounts and on hippocampus regulated EEG-theta (θ) activity.
