Effect of Orexin-A injected into medial entorhinal cortex of rats on sleep-wakefulness and spatial memory
Objective To study the effect of Orexin-A injected into medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) of rats on sleep-wake cycle and spatial memory of SD rats. Methods Forty-five healthy adult male SD rats
weighing 250 to 300 g
were included in this study. Their cerebral and myoelectrical activities were synchronically recorded
their sleep-wake cycle and accuracy rate of alternative selection in T-maze were observed after injection of Orexin-A and SB-334867. Results Oexin-A and SB-334867 showed no significant effect on sleep-wake cycle
NREM and REM sleep time of rats 3 h after they were injected into MEC of rats compared with that of ACSF and DMSO(P0.05). However
the accuracy rate of alternative selection in T-maze was significantly lower after injection of SB-733467 than after injection of DMSO(P0.001). Conclusion The Orexin system in MEC may be involved in spatial memory but not in sleep-wake cycle.
