Journal ArticleDOI
Relation between REM Sleep and Intracranial Self-Stimulation
TL;DR: It is shown that allowing rats to self-stimulate while they were being deprived of this sleep form reduced the amount of REM rebound during recovery from deprivation, demonstrating a reciprocal relation between rewarding brain stimulation and REM sleep.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleepiness and REM sleep recurrence: the effects of stage 2 and REM sleep awakenings.
TL;DR: The effects of selective sleep-stage restriction on an objective measure of sleep tendency are studied, and the relationship between sleepiness and subsequent REM recurrence during REM deprivation is explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of behaviors elicited by electrical brain stimulation in dorsal brain stem and hypothalamus of rats.
TL;DR: D-amphetamine produced higher response rates than either l-amphetamine or saline at both dorsal brain stem and hypothalamic sites, indicating that noradrenergic dorsalbrain stem fibers (or cell bodies) support intracranial self-stimulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Escape from rewarding brain stimulation of dorsal brainstem and hypothalamus.
TL;DR: Albino rats had two bipolar electrodes aimed at lateral hypothalamic and either of two dorsal brainstem (dorsal raphe or locus coeruleus) sites and learned to escape from passive electrical stimulation at each elctrode site which supported self-stimulation behavior.
