The fact that sleep is associated with very active endogenous neural (chemical and electrical) processes, suggests that these processes may be involved in the maintenance of long-term memory storage. The present experiments were designed to examine the hypothesis that rapid eye movement (REM) sleep deprivation will produce impairment of long-term memory. Mice deprived of REM sleep for 3, 5 or 7 continuous days, during the interval between a one-trial inhibitory avoidance training experience and a subsequent retention test, displayed a temporary retrograde amnesia when tested 30 min or three hr following termination of REM deprivation. The mice did not recover from the amnesia if electroconvulsive shock was administered immediately following the interval of REM sleep deprivation. In a further study, the generality of these findings was obtained by depriving mice of REM sleep during the interval between a discrimination training experiment in a black-white T-maze and the subsequent retention test.
