Figure 1. Brief sleep deprivation specifically impairs forms of LTP that depend on the cAMP/PKA pathway.
(a) The maintenance of spaced 4-train LTP was significantly disrupted in slices from sleep-deprived mice (p=0.03). (b) A similar deficit was observed in LTP induced by theta-burst stimulation (TBS) (p=0.003). (c) Massed 4-train LTP was unaffected in hippocampal slices from sleep-deprived mice (p=0.67). (d) 1-train LTP was unaffected in hippocampal slices from sleep-deprived mice (p=0.97).
