Retrograde Amnesia: Electroconvulsive Shock Effects after Termination of Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Deprivation

Authors:

Abstract
Mice that were deprived of rapid eye movement sleep for 2 days immediately after one-trial training in an inhibitory avoidance task and were given an electroconvulsive shock after deprivation displayed retrograde amnesia on a retention test given 24 hours later. Electroconvulsive shock produced no amnesia in comparable groups of animals that were not deprived of rapid eye movement sleep.
