    ..Therefore, sleep fragmentation prior to testing impairs the ability to retain spatial reference memories but does not impair spatial reference memory acquisition or spatial WM in Fischer-Norway rats...

    ..Instead, the reduced excitability of CA1 pyramidal neurons observed here may contribute to the loss of hippocampal long-term potentiation and hippocampus-dependent cognitive impairments associated with sleep disruption...

    Jaime L Tartar
    Harvard Medical School and VA Boston Healthcare System, Laboratory of Neuroscience, Research 151 C, 940 Belmont Street, Brockton, MA 02301, USA
    Eur J Neurosci 23:2739-48. 2006
    ..The results suggest that sleep fragmentation negatively impacts spatial learning. Loss of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-dependent LTP in the hippocampal CA1 region may be one mechanism involved in this deficit...
