Multiple lines of evidence indicate that neurons within the
pontomesencephalic tegmentum are critically involved in the generation of paradoxical sleep (PS). From single-unit recording studies, evidence
suggests that unidentified but "possibly" cholinergic tegmental
neurons discharge at higher rates during PS than during slow wave sleep
or even waking and would thus play an active role, whereas
"presumed" monoaminergic neurons cease firing during PS and would
thus play a permissive role in PS generation. In the present study
performed on rats, c-Fos immunostaining was used as a reflection of
neuronal activity and combined with immunostaining for choline
acetyltransferase (ChAT), serotonin (Ser), tyrosine hydroxylase (TH),
or glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) for immunohistochemical identification of active neurons during PS recovery (~28% of
recording time) as compared with PS deprivation (0%) and PS control
(~15%) conditions. With PS recovery, there was a significant
increase in ChAT+/c-Fos+ cells, a significant decrease in Ser+/c-Fos+
and TH+/c-Fos+ cells, and a significant increase in GAD+/c-Fos+ cells. Across conditions, the percent PS was correlated positively with tegmental cholinergic c-Fos+ cells, negatively with raphe serotonergic and locus coeruleus noradrenergic c-Fos+ cells, and positively with
codistributed and neighboring GABAergic c-Fos+ cells. These results
support the hypothesis that cholinergic neurons are active, whereas
monoaminergic neurons are inactive during PS. They moreover indicate
that GABAergic neurons are active during PS and could thus be
responsible for inhibiting neighboring monoaminergic neurons that may
be essential in the generation of PS.
