Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is hypothesized to result from the activity of REM sleep-generating and REM sleep-inhibiting neurons. The serotoninergic (5-HT) neurons of the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) represents one such population of REM-sleep inhibiting neurons since they are silent during REM sleep. Consistent with the decrease in activity of 5-HT neurons, the brain extracellular levels of 5-HT are lower during REM sleep compared to wakefulness. It is not known whether serotonin release is also reduced as a consequence of REM sleep rebound. Using microdialysis sampling coupled to HPLC–ECD, we measured the extracellular levels of 5-HT and its metabolite (5-HIAA) in the medial medullary reticular formation (mMRF) of freely behaving rats during normal sleep, REM sleep deprivation as well as during REM sleep rebound. We found that the levels 5-HT and 5-HIAA were significantly decreased by REM sleep deprivation. The reduction of 5-HT release was maintained during REM sleep rebound but the extracellular level of its main metabolite was increased. In addition, even during REM sleep rebound, 5-HT release during sleep was low compared to wakefulness. Taken together these data support the permissive role of 5-HT neurotransmission for REM sleep expression.
