The adult hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) is a site of continuing neurogenesis. This process is influenced by a variety of physiological and experiential stimuli including total sleep deprivation (TSD). In humans, sleep fragmentation (SF) is a more common sleep condition than TSD. SF is associated with several prevalent diseases. We assessed a hypothesis that SF would suppress adult neurogenesis in the DG of the adult rat. An intermittent treadmill system was used; the treadmill was on for 3 s and off for 30 s (SF). For sleep fragmentation control (SFC), the treadmill was on for 15 min and off for 150 min. SF was conducted for three durations: 1, 4 and 7 days. To label proliferating cells, the thymidine analog, 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdU), was injected 2 h prior to the end of each experiment. Expression of the intrinsic proliferative marker, Ki67, was also studied. SF rats exhibited an increased number of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep bouts with no change in the percent of time spent in this stage. The numbers of both BrdU-positive cells and Ki67-positive cells were reduced by similar to 70% (P
