Abstract
Aortic dissection is a complex, intramural, and dynamic condition involving multiple mechanisms, hence, difficult to observe. In the present study, a controlled in vitro aortic dissection was performed using tension-inflation tests on notched rabbit aortic segments. The mechanical test was combined with conventional (cCT) and synchrotron (sCT) computed tomography for in situ imaging of the macro- and micro-structural morphological changes of the aortic wall during dissection. We demonstrate that the morphology of the notch and the aorta can be quantified in situ at different steps of the aortic dissection, and that the notch geometry correlates with the critical pressure. The phenomena prior to propagation of the notch are also described, for instance the presence of a bulge at the tip of the notch is identified, deforming the remaining wall. Finally, our method allows us to visualize for the first time the propagation of an aortic dissection in real-time with a resolution that has never previously been reached. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: With the present study, we investigated the factors leading to the propagation of aortic dissection by reproducing this mechanical process in notched rabbit aortas. Synchrotron CT provided the first visualisation in real-time of an aortic dissection propagation with a resolution that has never previously been reached. The morphology of the intimal tear and aorta was quantified at different steps of the aortic dissection, demonstrating that the early notch geometry correlates with the critical pressure. This quantification is crucial for the development of better criteria identifying patients at risk. Phenomena prior to tear propagation were also described, such as the presence of a bulge at the tip of the notch, deforming the remaining wall.

Abstract
Aortic dissection represents a serious cardio-vascular disease and life-threatening event. Dissection is a sudden delamination event of the wall, possibly leading to rupture within a few hours. Current knowledge and practical criteria to understand and predict this phenomenon lack reliable models and experimental observations of rupture at the lamellar scale. In an attempt to quantify rupture-related parameters, the present study proposes an analytical model that reproduces a uniaxial test on medial arterial samples observed under X-ray tomography. This model is composed of several layers that represent the media of the aortic wall, each having proper elastic and damage properties. Finite element models were created to validate the analytical model using user-defined parameters. Once the model was validated, an inverse analysis was used to fit the model parameters to experimental curves of uniaxial tests from a published study. Because this analytical model did not consider delamination strength between layers, a finite element model that included this phenomenon was also developed to investigate the influence of the delamination on the stress-strain curve through a sensitivity analysis. It was shown that shear delamination strength between layers, i.e. mode II separation, is essential in the rupture process observed experimentally.

Abstract
In urban areas, infiltration basins are designed to manage stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces and allow the settling of associated pollutants. The sedimentary layer deposited at the surface of these structures is highly organic and multicontaminated (mainly heavy metals and hydrocarbons). Only few aquatic species are able to maintain permanent populations in such an extreme environment, including the oligochaete Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri. Nevertheless, the impact of urban pollutants on these organisms and the resulting influence on infiltration basin functioning remain poorly studied. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine how polluted sediments could impact the survival, the physiology and the bioturbation activity of L. hoffmeisteri and thereby modify biogeochemical processes occurring at the water-sediment interface. To this end, we conducted laboratory incubations of worms, in polluted sediments from infiltration basins or slightly polluted sediments from a stream. Analyses were performed to evaluate physiological state and burrowing activity (X-ray micro-tomography) of worms and their influences on biogeochemical processes (nutrient fluxes, CO2 and CH4 degassing rates) during 30-day long experiments. Our results showed that worms exhibited physiological responses to cope with high pollution levels, including a strong ability to withstand the oxidative stress linked to contamination with heavy metals. We also showed that the presence of urban pollutants significantly increased the burrowing activity of L. hoffmeisteri, demonstrating the sensitivity and the relevance of such a behavioural response as biomarker of sediment toxicity. In addition, we showed that X-ray micro-tomography was an adequate technique for accurate and non-invasive three-dimensional investigations of biogenic structures formed by bioturbators. The presence of worms induced stimulations of nutrient fluxes and organic matter recycling (between +100% and 200% of CO2 degassing rate). Nevertheless, these stimulations were comparable within the three sediments, suggesting a low influence of urban contaminants on bioturbation-driven biogeochemical processes under our experimental conditions.

Abstract
Sleep/wake disorders are frequently associated with anxiety and depression and to elevated levels of cortisol. Even though these alterations are increasingly sought in animal models, no study has investigated the specific effects of chronic corticosterone (CORT) administration on sleep. We characterized sleep/wake disorders in a neuroendocrine mouse model of anxiety/depression, based on chronic CORT administration in the drinking water (35 μg/ml for 4 weeks, "CORT model"). The CORT model was markedly affected during the dark phase by non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREM) increase without consistent alteration of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Total sleep duration (SD) and sleep efficiency (SE) increased concomitantly during both the 24h and the dark phase, due to the increase in the number of NREM sleep episodes without a change in their mean duration. Conversely, the total duration of wake decreased due to a decrease in the mean duration of wake episodes despite an increase in their number. These results reflect hypersomnia by intrusion of NREM sleep during the active period as well as a decrease in sleep/wake continuity. In addition, NREM sleep was lighter, with an increased electroencephalogram (EEG) theta activity. With regard to REM sleep, the number and the duration of episodes decreased, specifically during the first part of the light period. REM and NREM sleep changes correlated respectively with the anxiety and the anxiety/depressive-like phenotypes, supporting the notion that studying sleep could be of predictive value for altered emotional behavior. The chronic CORT model in mice that displays hallmark characteristics of anxiety and depression provides an insight into understanding the changes in overall sleep architecture that occur under pathological conditions.

Abstract
The first results of three-dimensional grain mapping using a laboratory tomograph equipped with a microfocus W target X-ray tube source, operated at 90 kV and 350 µA, are presented. Adapted algorithms exploit the polychromatic radiation spectrum and the projection magnification arising from the cone-beam geometry. The first map of grain shapes and crystallographic orientations from a titanium sample containing 42 grains is presented and its validity confirmed by a phase contrast reconstruction of the grain boundaries. Perspectives are given for the further development of the technique to accommodate samples with more grains or with greater intragranular orientation spread.

Abstract
AbstractObjectiveThe primary aim of this study was to compare the sleep macroarchitecture of children and adolescents whose mothers have a history of depression with children and adolescents whose mothers do not.MethodPolysomnography (PSG) and Holter electroencephalogram (EEG) were used to compare the sleep architecture of 35 children whose mothers had at least one previous depressive episode (19 boys, aged 4–18 years, “high-risk” group) and 25 controls (13 males, aged 4–18 years, “low-risk” group) whose mothers had never had a depressive episode. The total sleep time, wakefulness after sleep onset (WASO), sleep latency, sleep efficiency, number of awakenings per hour of sleep, percentages of time spent in each sleep stage, rapid eye movement (REM) latency and the depressive symptoms of participants were measured.ResultsIn children (4–12 years old), the high-risk group exhibited significantly more depressive symptoms than controls (P = 0.02). However, PSG parameters were not significantly different between high-risk children and controls. In adolescents (13–18 years old), the high-risk subjects presented with significantly more depressive symptoms (P = 0.003), a significant increase in WASO (P = 0.019) and a significant decrease in sleep efficiency compared to controls (P = 0.009).ConclusionThis study shows that children and adolescents born from mothers with a history of at least one depressive episode had significantly more depressive symptoms than controls. However, only high-risk adolescents presented with concurrent alterations of sleep macroarchitecture.

Abstract
Prospective clinical trials addressing the role of serotonin (5-HT) in sleep apnea have indicated that the 5-HT uptake inhibitor fluoxetine is beneficial to some patients with obstructive apnea, whereas the 5-HT(3) receptor antagonist ondansetron seems of little value despite its efficacy in rat and dog models of sleep apnea (central and obstructive). Here, we examined the effect of these drugs in transgenic mice lacking monoamine oxidase A (Tg8), which exhibit approximately 3-fold higher rates of central sleep apnea than their wild-type counterparts (C3H), linked to their enhanced 5-HT levels. Acute ondansetron (2 mg kg(-1), intraperitoneal), acute fluoxetine (16 mg kg(-1)) and 13-day chronic fluoxetine (1 or 16 mg kg(-1)) decreased by approximately 80% the total (spontaneous and post-sigh) apnea index in Tg8 mice during non-rapid eye movement sleep, with no statistically significant effect on apnea in C3H mice. Our study shows that both drugs reduce the frequency of apneic episodes attributable to increased monoamine levels in this model of MAOA deficiency, and suggests that both may be effective in some patients with central sleep apneas.

Abstract
Sleep can be organized in two quite different ways across homeothermic species: either in one block (monophasic), or in several bouts across the 24 h (polyphasic). Yet, the main relationships between variables, as well as regulating mechanisms, are likely to be similar. Correlations and theories on sleep regulation should thus be examined on both types of sleepers. In previous studies on monophasic humans, we have shown preferential links between the number of ultradian cycles and the rapid eye movement sleep (REMS) time, rather than with its counterpart non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREMS). Here, the sleep of 26 polyphasic mice was examined, both to better describe the NREMS distribution, which is far more complex than in humans, and to replicate the analyses performed on humans. As in humans, the strongest links with the number of cycles were with REMS. Links were not significant with NREMS taken as a whole, although positive correlations were found with the NREMS immediately preceding REMS episodes and inversely significant with the residue. This convergence between monophasic and polyphasic patterns supports the central role played by REMS in sleep alternation.

Abstract
Genetic deficiency of monoamine oxidase-A (MAO-A) induces major alterations of mood and behaviour in human. Because serotonin (5-HT) is involved in mood regulation, and MAO-A is responsible for the catabolism of 5-HT, we investigated 5-HT mechanisms in knock-out mice (2-month-old) lacking MAO-A, using microdialysis, electrophysiological, autoradiographic and molecular biology approaches. Compared to paired wild-type mice, basal extracellular 5-HT levels were increased in ventral hippocampus (+202%), frontal cortex (+96%) and dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN, +147%) of MAO-A mutant mice. Conversely, spontaneous firing rate of 5-HT neurons in the DRN (recorded under chloral hydrate anaesthesia) was approximately 40% lower in mutants. Acute 5-HT reuptake blockade by citalopram (0.2 and 0.8 mg/kg i.v.) produced a much larger increase in extracellular 5-HT levels (by approximately 4 fold) and decrease in DRN neuronal firing (with a approximately 4.5 fold decrease in the drug's ED50) in MAO-A knock-out mice, which expressed lower levels of the 5-HT transporter throughout the brain (-13 to -34% compared to wild-type levels). The potency of the 5-HT1A agonist 8-OH-DPAT to produce hypothermia and to reduce the firing of DRN serotoninergic neurons was significantly less in the mutants, indicating a desensitization of 5-HT1A autoreceptors. This was associated with a decreased autoradiographic labelling of these receptors (-27%) in the DRN. Altogether, these data indicate that, in MAO-A knock-out mice, the enhancement of extracellular 5-HT levels induces a down-regulation of the 5-HT transporter, and a desensitization of 5-HT1A autoreceptors which allows the maintenance of tonic activity of 5-HT neurons in the DRN.

Abstract
Sleepiness increases with duration of sleep deprivation. Rebound sleep together with enhancement of slow wave activity are characteristic of the subsequent recovery period. These homeostatic properties of the regulation of sleep-wakefulness are mediated by central adenosinergic modulations. The involvement of adenosine in sleep processes has been known for a long time, as illustrated by the fact that blockade of adenosine receptors by caffeine promotes wakefulness. However, its mechanisms of action in these processes have only recently been thoroughly investigated, notably by use of microdialysis techniques in free-moving animals. In the central nervous system, adenosine acts as a neurotransmitter, but it is not released from synaptic vesicles in specific neurons. Adenosine is synthesized in neurons and glial cells and is released into the extracellular space when energy expenditure exceeds energy production. Adenosine acts at A1 receptors to inhibit target transmitter release and to hyperpolarize neurons, and at A2A receptors, possibly activating GABAergic inhibitory systems. Extracellular concentrations of adenosine in most brain areas are deceased during sleep compared to wakefulness, but these modifications are linked to sleep regulatory mechanisms, essentially in the basal forebrain. In the basal forebrain and in the cortex, adenosine levels are considerably enhanced during sustained prolonged wakefulness and decrease progressively during the recovery period. This enhancement of adenosine concentration would be responsible for sleep rebound and for slow wave activity observed after sleep deprivation, since these effects are mimicked by infusion of A1 agonists into the basal forebrain and are counteracted by treatment with adenosinergic antagonists such as caffeine or theophylline. The action of adenosine on sleep-wakefulness regulation would be accounted for by an inhibitory influence on wakefulness-promoting cholinergic neurons of the basal forebrain and the mesopontine area, and by facilitation of sleep-related neurons in the hypothalamic preoptic nucleus. Through these mechanisms, adenosine would be, more than a sleep modular, a homeostatic signal regulating sleepiness and sleep rebound, which are both associated with prolonged wakefulness.

Abstract
Cholinergic and PACAPergic systems within the oral pontine reticular nucleus (PnO) play a critical role in REM sleep generation in rats. In this present work, we have investigated whether REM sleep enhancement induced by carbachol (a cholinergic agonist) or PACAP, depends on an interaction between muscarinic and PACAP receptors. This hypothesis was tested by recording sleep-wake cycles in freely moving rats injected into the PnO with PACAP in combination with the muscarinic receptor antagonist atropine, or with carbachol in combination with the PACAP receptor antagonist PACAP6-27. When administered alone, PACAP (3 pmol) or carbachol (110 pmol) induced an enhancement of REM sleep during 8 h (+61%, n = 8; +70%, n = 5), which was totally prevented by infusion of atropine (290 pmol) for PACAP, or of PACAP6-27 (3 pmol) for carbachol. Quantitative autoradiographic studies indicated that (i) PACAP (10-9-10-7 M) induced in the PnO an increase (+35%) of the specific binding of the muscarinic antagonist [3H]quinuclidinyl benzylate, which could be completely prevented by PACAP6-27 (IC50 = 8 x 10-8 M) and (ii) both carbachol and PACAP enhanced [35S]GTP-gamma-S binding in a concentration-dependent manner in the PnO. The maximal increase due to carbachol was significantly higher in the presence (+126%) than in the absence (+102%) of PACAP (0.1 microM). These data showed that interactions between muscarinic and PACAP receptors do exist within the PnO and play a role in the local mechanisms of REM sleep control in the rat.

Abstract
With the aim of exploring the relationship between the serotonin transporter (5-HTT or SERT) and the activity level of serotonin (5-HT) neurotransmission, in vivo expression of this protein was specifically altered using a nonviral DNA transfer method. Plasmids containing the entire coding sequence or a partial antisense sequence of the 5-HTT gene were complexed with the cationic polymer polyethylenimine and injected into the dorsal raphe nucleus of adult male rats. Significant increase or decrease in both [(3)H]citalopram binding and [(3)H]5-HT synaptosomal uptake were observed in various brain areas up to 2 weeks after a single administration of the sense plasmid or 7 d after injection of the short antisense plasmid, respectively. Such changes in 5-HTT expression were associated with functional alterations in 5-HT neurotransmission, as shown by the increased capacity of 5-HT(1A) receptor stimulation to enhance [(35)S]GTP-gamma-S binding onto the dorsal raphe nucleus in sections from rats injected with the sense plasmid. Conversely, both a decrease in 5-HT(1A)-mediated [(35)S]GTP-gamma-S binding and a reduced potency of the 5-HT(1A) receptor agonist ipsapirone to inhibit neuronal firing were observed in the dorsal raphe nucleus of antisense plasmid-injected rats. Furthermore, changes in brain 5-HT and/or 5-HIAA levels, and sleep wakefulness circadian rhythm in the latter animals demonstrated that altered expression of 5-HTT by recombinant plasmids has important functional consequences on central 5-HT neurotransmission in adult rats.

Abstract
Night shift work is common in hospitals to assure continuous care. This practice, however, induces difficulties due to changes in the sleep/awake cycle of hospital workers. The aims of the present study were to validate actigraphy in comparison with polysomnography for sleep evaluation and to assess nurses' adaptation to sleep/wake cycles when on a permanent night shift schedule. Actigraphy and ambulatory polysomnography were performed in fifteen night shift nurses employed in hospital on a full time basis, during their work and their rest periods. Our first findings showed that actigraphy gave reliable results compared with polysomnography in evaluation of total sleep time. In addition, it was found that seven of the nurses exhibited, during their work periods, an approximately five-hour delay in the acrophase of their rest/activity rhythm compared with their rest periods. In contrast, five other nurses whose acrophase did not change between work and rest periods, exhibited sleep episodes of more than 100 minutes duration at work. These results confirm data in the literature and show that some nurses cannot adjust the circadian rhythm of their inner biological clock to their nocturnal schedules. Actigraphy seems to be an efficient, low cost and easy method for measuring total sleep time as well as for assessing the inability of nurses to adapt to permanent night shift work.

Abstract
Two mouse lines were selectively bred according to their sensitivity (BS line) or resistance (BR line) to seizures induced by a single i.p. injection of methyl beta-carboline-3-carboxylate (beta-CCM), an inverse agonist of the GABA(A) receptor benzodiazepine site. Our aim was to characterize both lines' sensitivities to various physiological effects of other ligands of the GABA(A) receptor. We measured diazepam-induced anxiolysis with the elevated plus-maze test, diazepam-induced sedation by recording the vigilance states, and picrotoxin- and pentylenetetrazol-induced seizures after i.p. injections. Results presented here show that the differential sensitivities of BS and BR lines to beta-CCM can be extended to diazepam, picrotoxin, and pentylenetetrazol, suggesting a genetic selection of a general sensitivity and resistance to several ligands of the GABA(A) receptor.

Abstract
In rats, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep can be elicited by microinjection of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) into the oral pontine reticular nucleus (PnO). In the present study, we investigated whether this area could also be a REM-promoting target for a peptide closely related to VIP: the pituitary adenylyl cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP). When administered into the posterior part of the PnO, but not in nearby areas, of freely moving chronically implanted rats, PACAP-27 and PACAP-38 (0.3 and 3 pmol) induced a marked enhancement (60-85% over baseline) of REM sleep for 8 h that could be prevented by prior infusion of the antagonist PACAP-(6-27) (3 pmol) into the same site. Moreover, injections of PACAP into the centre of the posterior PnO resulted in REM sleep enhancement which could last for up to 11 consecutive days. Quantitative autoradiography using [125I]PACAP-27 revealed the presence in the PnO of specific binding sites with high affinity for PACAP-27 and PACAP-38 (IC50 = 2.4 and 3.2 nM, respectively), but very low affinity for VIP (IC50 > 1 microM). These data suggest that PACAP within the PnO may play a key role in REM sleep regulation, and provide evidence for long-term (several days) mechanisms involved in such a control. PAC1 receptors which have a much higher affinity for PACAP than for VIP might mediate this long-term action of PACAP on REM sleep.

Abstract
The characteristics of the spontaneous firing of serotoninergic neurons in the dorsal raphe nucleus and its control by serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) receptors were investigated in wild-type and 5-HT1B knock-out (5-HT1B-/-) mice of the 129/Sv strain, anaesthetized with chloral hydrate. In both groups of mice, 5-HT neurons exhibited a regular activity with an identical firing rate of 0.5-4.5 spikes/s. Intravenous administration of the 5-HT reuptake inhibitor citalopram or the 5-HT1A agonist 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) induced a dose-dependent inhibition of 5-HT neuronal firing which could be reversed by the selective 5-HT1A antagonist N-[2-[4-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1-piperazinyl]ethyl]-N-(2-pyridinyl)cyclohe xane carboxamide (WAY 100635). Both strains were equally sensitive to 8-OH-DPAT (ED50 approximately 6.3 microgram/kg i.v.), but the mutants were less sensitive than wild-type animals to citalopram (ED50 = 0.49 +/- 0.02 and 0.28 +/- 0.01 mg/kg i.v., respectively, P < 0.05). This difference could be reduced by pre-treatment of wild-type mice with the 5-HT1B/1D antagonist 2'-methyl-4'-(5-methyl-[1,2,4]oxadiazol-3-yl)-biphenyl-4-carbox yli c acid [4-methoxy-3-(4-methyl-piperazine-1-yl)-phenyl]amide (GR 127935), and might be accounted for by the lack of 5-HT1B receptors and a higher density of 5-HT reuptake sites (specifically labelled by [3H]citalopram) in 5-HT1B-/- mice. In wild-type but not 5-HT1B-/- mice, the 5-HT1B agonists 3-(1,2,5, 6-tetrahydro-4-pyridyl)-5-propoxypyrrolo[3,2-b]pyridine (CP 94253, 3 mg/kg i.v.) and 5-methoxy-3-(1,2,3, 6-tetrahydropyridin-4-yl)-1H-indole (RU 24969, 0.6 mg/kg i.v.) increased the firing rate of 5-HT neurons (+22.4 +/- 2.8% and +13.7 +/- 6.0%, respectively, P < 0.05), and this effect could be prevented by the 5-HT1B antagonist GR 127935 (1 mg/kg i.v.). Altogether, these data indicate that in the mouse, the firing of 5-HT neurons in the dorsal raphe nucleus is under both an inhibitory control through 5-HT1A receptors and an excitatory influence through 5-HT1B receptors.

Abstract
The involvement of 5-HT1B receptors in the regulation of vigilance states was assessed by investigating the spontaneous sleep-waking cycles and the effects of 5-HT receptor ligands on sleep in knock-out (5-HT1B-/-) mice that do not express this receptor type. Both 5-HT1B-/- and wild-type 129/Sv mice exhibited a clear-cut diurnal sleep-wakefulness rhythm, but knock-out animals were characterized by higher amounts of paradoxical sleep and lower amounts of slow-wave sleep during the light phase and by a lack of paradoxical sleep rebound after deprivation. In wild-type mice, the 5-HT1B agonists CP 94253 (1-10 mg/kg, i.p.) and RU 24969 (0.25-2.0 mg/kg, i.p.) induced a dose-dependent reduction of paradoxical sleep during the 2-6 hr after injection, whereas the 5-HT1B/1D antagonist GR 127935 (0.1-1.0 mg/kg, i.p.) enhanced paradoxical sleep. In addition, pretreatment with GR 127935, but not with the 5-HT1A antagonist WAY 100635, prevented the effects of both 5-HT1B agonists. In contrast, none of the 5-HT1B receptor ligands, at the same doses as those used in wild-type mice, had any effect on sleep in 5-HT1B-/- mutants. Finally, the 5-HT1A agonist 8-OH-DPAT (0.2-1.2 mg/kg, s.c.) induced in both strains a reduction in the amount of paradoxical sleep. Altogether, these data indicate that 5-HT1B receptors participate in the regulation of paradoxical sleep in the mouse.

Abstract
In rats, rapid eye movement sleep can be induced by microinjection of either the cholinergic agonist carbachol or the neuropeptide vasoactive intestinal peptide into the oral pontine reticular nucleus. Possible involvement of cholinergic mechanisms in the effect of vasoactive intestinal peptide was investigated using muscarinic receptor ligands. Sleep-waking cycles were analysed after infusion into the oral pontine reticular nucleus of vasoactive intestinal peptide (10 ng in 0.1 microl), carbachol (20 ng), atropine (200 ng) and pirenzepine (50, 100 ng), performed separately or in combination at 15-min intervals. The increase in rapid eye movement sleep due to the combined infusion of vasoactive intestinal peptide and carbachol (+58.7+/-4.6% for 8 h, P<0.05) was not significantly different from that induced by each compound separately. The enhancement of rapid eye movement sleep by vasoactive intestinal peptide was totally prevented by infusion of atropine, but not pirenzepine, a relatively selective M1 antagonist. On their own, none of the latter two compounds affected the sleep-waking cycle. Quantitative autoradiographic studies using [3H]quinuclidinyl benzylate (1 nM) and pirenzepine (0.5 microM) indicated that muscarinic receptors correspond to pirenzepine-insensitive binding sites in the oral pontine reticular nucleus. In vitro, vasoactive intestinal peptide (1-100 nM) significantly increased (+30-40%) the specific binding of [3H]quinuclidinyl benzylate to the oral pontine reticular nucleus in rat brain sections. This effect appeared to be due to an increased density, with no change in affinity, of pirenzepine-insensitive binding sites in this area. These data suggest that pirenzepine-insensitive muscarinic binding sites are involved in the induction of rapid eye movement sleep by vasoactive intestinal peptide at the pontine level in the rat.

Abstract
Chronic treatment with antidepressants renders serotonergic neuronal firing less sensitive to the inhibitory effect of serotonin (5-HT) reuptake blockers in the rat, and this has been considered as a major correlate of the therapeutic action of these drugs. We investigated whether the same mechanisms could be evidenced in an experimental model of depression, the learned helplessness paradigm. Rats rendered helpless by a single session of inescapable electrical footshocks exhibit, for several days, depression-like behavioural deficits which can be reversed by sub-chronic, but not acute, treatment with antidepressants. Recording of serotonergic neurons in the dorsal raphe nucleus revealed that, under baseline conditions, the spontaneous firing was similar in helpless rats and in non-helpless controls. However, neurons in the former group exhibited an enhanced sensitivity to the inhibitory action of the 5-HT reuptake blocker, citalopram (ED50 = 0.18 +/- 0.02 mg/kg IV in helpless rats versus 0.27 +/- 0.03 mg/kg IV in controls, P < 0.05). Treatment with zimeldine during 3 consecutive days induced in both helpless and control rats, a decrease in the inhibitory response of serotonergic neurons to the citalopram challenge, which resulted in a normalization of the neuronal reactivity in the helpless group (ED50 = 0.31 +/- 0.03 mg/kg IV). Since this adaptive phenomenon parallels the behavioural improvement induced by the repeated administration of zimeldine and other antidepressants in helpless rats, it might be considered as a crucial event in the mechanism of therapeutic action of these drugs.

Abstract
Rapid eye movement sleep can be elicited in the rat by microinjection of the cholinergic agonist carbachol into the oral pontine reticular nucleus. Intracerebroventricular administration, during the light period, of vasoactive intestinal peptide enhances rapid eye movement sleep in several species. Since this peptide is co-localized with acetylcholine in many neurons in the central nervous system, it was assumed that the oral pontine tegmentum could also be one target for vasoactive intestinal peptide to induce rapid eye movement sleep. This hypothesis was tested by recording the sleep-wakefulness cycle in freely-moving rats injected with vasoactive intestinal peptide or its fragments (1-12 and 10-28) directly into the oral pontine reticular nucleus. when administered into the posterior part of this nucleus, vasoactive intestinal peptide at 1 and 10 ng (in 0.1 microliter of saline), but not its fragments, induced a 2-fold enhancement of rapid eye movement sleep during 4 h, at the expense of wakefulness. At the dose of 10 ng, a significant increase in rapid eye movement sleep persisted for up to 8 h. Moreover, when the peptide was injected into the centre of the positive zone, rapid eye movement sleep was enhanced during three to eight consecutive days. These data provide the first evidence that rapid eye movement sleep can be elicited at both short- and long-term by a single intracerebral microinjection of vasoactive intestinal peptide. Peptidergic mechanisms, possibly in association with cholinergic mechanisms, within the caudal part of the oral pontine reticular nucleus may play a critical role in the long-term regulation of rapid eye movement sleep in rats.

Abstract
Sleep deprivation (SD) for one night induces mood improvement in depressed patients. However, relapse often occurs on the day after deprivation subsequently to a sleep episode. In light of the possible involvement of central serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) neurotransmission in both depression and sleep mechanisms, we presently investigated, in the rat, the effects of SD and recovery sleep on the electrophysiological response of 5-HT neurons in the nucleus raphe dorsalis (NRD) to an acute challenge with the 5-HT reuptake blocker citalopram. In all rats, citalopram induced a dose-dependent inhibition of the firing of NRD neurons recorded under chloral hydrate anaesthesia. After SD, achieved by placing rats in a slowly rotating cylinder for 24 h, the inhibitory action of citalopram was significantly reduced (with a concomitant 53% increase in its ED50 value). After a recovery period of 4 h, a normal susceptibility of the firing to citalopram was restored. The decreased sensitivity of 5-HT neuronal firing to the inhibitory effect of citalopram after SD probably results in an enhancement of 5-HT neurotransmission. Such an adaptive phenomenon (similar to that reported after chronic antidepressant treatment), and its normalization after recovery sleep, parallel the mood improvement effect of SD and the subsequent relapse observed in depressed patients. These data suggest that the associated changes in 5-HT autocontrol of the firing of NRD serotoninergic neurons are relevant to the antidepressant action of SD.

Abstract
Previous studies showed that chronic deprivation of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep had the same behavioral effects as antidepressant drugs in helpless rats. Since long-term treatment with antidepressants is known to affect central serotoninergic neurotransmission, we investigated whether REM sleep deprivation also exerts an influence on the activity of serotoninergic neurons within the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) in rats. REM sleep deprivation was performed using the platform technique. Recording of serotoninergic neurons in the DRN revealed no difference in the basal firing rate, but a reduced inhibitory response to the selective serotonin (5-HT) reuptake blockers cericlamine and citalopram after repeated but not acute REM sleep deprivation. These observations suggest that REM sleep deprivation renders serotoninergic DRN neurons less sensitive to the inhibitory effect of 5-HT reuptake blockers, probably because of functional desensitization of somatodendritic 5-HT1A autoreceptors, like that previously reported after chronic treatment with several antidepressants. Accordingly, REM sleep deprivation might alleviate depression through neurophysiological mechanisms similar to those induced by antidepressants.

Abstract
Possible adaptive changes of the recently cloned serotonin 5-HT6 receptor after the selective lesion of serotoninergic neurons by an intracerebral administration of 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine were investigated using competitive RT-PCR (reverse transcription followed by polymerase chain reaction) for the measurement of 5-HT6-mRNA in various areas of the rat central nervous system. In control rats, 5-HT6-mRNA was the most abundant in the nucleus accumbens, followed by the olfactory tubercle and the striatum. High levels of 5-HT6-mRNA were also found in the hypothalamus and the hippocampus, whereas the cerebral cortex, the substantia nigra, and the spinal cord contained moderate levels of the transcript. Low but easily quantifiable levels of 5-HT6-mRNA were measured in the ventral tegmental area, the anterior raphe area, and the cerebellum. In addition, moderate to low levels of this mRNA were also found in dorsal root ganglia and the pituitary gland. Three weeks after the microinfusion of 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine into the anteroventral vicinity of the dorsal raphe nucleus in nomifensine-pretreated rats, the levels of serotonin transporter-mRNA were reduced by 90% in the anterior raphe area, as expected of the extensive lesion of serotoninergic neurons. In contrast, quantitative determinations of the 5-HT6-mRNA in this area as well as in the nucleus accumbens, the striatum, and the hippocampus indicated that its levels were not significantly different in 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine-treated rats and in controls. These data showed that the 5-HT6 receptor: 1) is not an autoreceptor, and 2) exhibits probably no up regulation in postsynaptic target cells after the selective degeneration of serotoninergic projections.

Abstract
Electrophysiological investigations on the mechanism of action of antidepressants have shown that both deprivation of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and chronic treatment with antidepressants render serotoninergic (5-HT) neurons less sensitive to the inhibitory effect of 5-HT reuptake blockers in the rat. It was of interest to test whether the same mechanisms could be evidenced in a possible experimental model of depression. The latter consisted of rats which had been treated neonatally with clomipramine and exhibited at adult age behavioural and sleep alterations which resemble the human disorder. Recording the electrophysiological activity of 5-HT neurons in the nucleus raphe dorsalis (NRD) revealed that both chronic treatment with zimelidine and REM sleep deprivation induced a hyporeactivity of these neurons to the inhibitory effect of citalopram in "normal" rats. However, in rats which had been treated neonatally with clomipramine, 5-HT neurons were hyporeactive to the effect of this 5-HT reuptake blocker already under baseline conditions, and no further modification could be induced by chronic zimelidine administration or REM sleep deprivation. It can be hypothesized that adaptive phenomena at the serotoninergic NRD level are not a relevant element to explain the mechanism of action of anti-depressants in the present model of depression, while they have been considered as a crucial event in "normal" rats.

Abstract
It has been proposed that serotoninergic activity is impaired in endogenous depression. We tested this hypothesis in an experimental model, where rats which have been treated with clomipramine during the first month of life exhibit at adult age behavioural and sleep alterations which resemble the human disorder. Recording of serotoninergic neurones in the dorsal raphe nucleus revealed no modification of their spontaneous firing, but a reduced inhibitory response to the 5-HT re-uptake blocker citalopram in clomipramine-treated rats as compared to controls. This suggests that neonatal clomipramine treatment results in a long lasting desensitization of somatodendritic 5-HT1A autoreceptors, leading possibly to a dysregulation of 5-HT neurone activity in this proposed model of depression.

Abstract
Cholinergic regulation of sleep and wakefulness was studied in freely moving rats locally infused with various doses of carbachol into the pontine reticular formation. Induction of REM sleep occurred when carbachol was infused specifically into the posterior oral pontine reticular nucleus (PnO). This effect was observed with 1-10 ng of carbachol, and lasted for at least 6 h. It was antagonized by atropine (100-200 ng) infused into the same site 15 min before carbachol (10 ng), indicating that REM sleep induction resulted from the stimulation of pontine muscarinic receptors. High doses of carbachol (500 ng) did not affect REM sleep but enhanced wakefulness. Cholinergic mechanisms within the PnO may play a critical role in the regulation of REM sleep in the rat.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that injection of 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptor agonists in the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) to stimulate somatodendritic 5-HT1A autoreceptors or in the hippocampus to stimulate postsynaptic 5-HT1A receptors, induces anxiolytic-like effects in the rat. The mechanisms triggered by the latter treatment were investigated by measuring both the electrical activity of serotonergic DRN neurons and the anxiolytic response in rats receiving injections with 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino) tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) or ipsapirone into the dorsal hippocampus. Anxiety-related behavior was estimated by recording the time of ultrasonic vocalization (USV) due to electric foot shocks under standardized conditions. Intrahippocampal application of 8-OH-DPAT or ipsapirone produced a dose-dependent inhibition of the firing of serotonergic DRN neurons and of the shock-induced USV response. However, the range of efficient doses of 8-OH-DPAT via the intrahippocampal route (1-10 micrograms/rat) was larger than that using the i.v. route of injection (0.15-2.5 micrograms/rat). Furthermore, maximal inhibition of the firing of DRN serotonergic neurons occurred earlier when 8-OH-DPAT was injected i.v. (within 1-2 min) than when it was injected into the dorsal hippocampus (within 5 min). Interestingly, the injection of 8-OH-DPAT into the striatum, where 5-HT1A receptors are hardly detectable, or a lateral ventricle, also yielded dose-dependent reduction in both the firing rate of serotonergic DRN neurons and the USV response. Finally, local lesion with ibotenic acid to eliminate postsynaptic 5-HT1A receptors did not alter the inhibitory effects of intrahippocampal application of 8-OH-DPAT on the firing of serotonergic DRN neurons and the USV response. These data indicated that postsynaptic 5-HT1A receptors were not responsible for the inhibitory effects of 8-OH-DPAT and ipsapirone injected in forebrain areas on the electrical activity of serotonergic neurons and the USV response in rats. As shown by the autoradiographic labeling by [3H]8-OH-DPAT at distance from its injection site in the dorsal hippocampus, the diffusion of 5-HT1A receptor agonists (from injected areas in the forebrain to the DRN where they directly inhibit the electrical activity of serotonergic neurons) more likely accounted for their anxiolytic-like effects.

Abstract
The regional distribution of the mRNA encoding the serotonin 5-HT1B receptor was studied in the central nervous system of the rat by in situ hybridization histochemistry and Northern blot analysis. A 180 base pair probe, corresponding to a highly selective portion of the third intracellular loop of the rat 5-HT1B receptor, was used. In most regions, a single 5 kb message was found by Northern blot analysis. However, two additional bands (2.5 and 4 kb) were detected in the striatum. The rank order of 5-HT1B mRNA abundance was striatum >> septum = ventral tegmentum > or = colliculi = hypothalamus = hippocampus > brain stem > or = cerebellum > or = dorsal horn of the spinal cord > cerebral cortex > or = ventral horn of the spinal cord > olfactory tubercle. This distribution was confirmed by in situ hybridization, which further revealed that the 5-HT1B mRNA was present in dorsal root ganglia, the layer IV of the cerebral cortex, the Purkinje cell layer of the cerebellum, the pyramidal neurons in the CA1 area of the hippocampus, and the dorsal and median raphe nuclei. In situ hybridization was also performed in nomifensine (10 mg/kg/i.p.)-pretreated rats whose serotoninergic neurons were extensively and selectively lesioned by microinjection of 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine (8 micrograms/1 microliter) directly into the anteroventral vicinity of anterior raphe nuclei 3 weeks before sacrifice. In lesioned rats, 5-HT1B mRNA was present in the same areas and at the same levels as in control rats, except in the dorsal and median raphe nuclei, where a marked decrease (-75%) in its local concentration was observed. These data provide the first demonstration of the synthesis of 5-HT1B receptor within serotoninergic neurons, as expected of their presynaptic autoreceptor function at the level of serotoninergic terminals.

Abstract
Antidepressant drugs, such as the tricyclics and the serotonin reuptake inhibitors, are well known to decrease paradoxical sleep and occasionally increase slow wave sleep in human and in animals. In order to examine whether amoxapine (a mixed NA reuptake blocker and 5-HT2/5-HT3 antagonist) and cericlamine (a selective 5-HT reuptake inhibitor) exert the same effect in rats, and to investigate the possible relationships between sleep, the action of antidepressants and the serotoninergic system, the effects of these two different drugs were examined under acute and chronic conditions. Acutely, amoxapine (1, 5 and 10 mg/kg; i.p.) and cericlamine (1, 8, 16 and 32 mg/kg; i.p.) decreased paradoxical sleep and increased deep slow wave sleep especially when they were given at a low dose. When administered for 14 days, amoxapine induced a sustained decrease of paradoxical sleep during the whole treatment, while some tolerance was observed with regard to the inhibitory effect of cericlamine on this state of sleep. In addition, a rebound of paradoxical sleep occurred on the first day of cericlamine withdrawal. Thus, amoxapine and cericlamine exerted the same effects on the states of vigilance in the rat as do other antidepressants. The effects of cericlamine on sleep probably reflect its blocking action on 5-HT uptake, whereas the more complex effects of amoxapine might involve its 5-HT2/5-HT3 antagonist properties.

Abstract
Biochemical and electrophysiological approaches were used to assess the possible changes in 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) 5-HT1A receptors in the rat brain after a long-term treatment with cericlamine [2-(3,4-dichlorobenzyl)-2-dimethylamino-1-propanol], a novel serotonin reuptake inhibitor with antidepressant properties. Possible changes in other serotonin receptor binding sites (5-HT2A, 5-HT2C and 5-HT3) were also investigated after this treatment. Cericlamine was injected for 2 weeks at a dose (16 mg/kg i.p., twice daily) that ensured complete prevention of 4-methyl-alpha-ethyl-meta-tyramine-induced depletion of brain serotonin. In vitro binding and quantitative autoradiographic studies showed that neither 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A, 5-HT2C nor 5-HT3 receptor binding sites in various brain areas were affected by the 14-day treatment with cericlamine. Although forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity was significantly increased in hippocampal homogenates from cericlamine-treated rats, the reduction in this enzymatic activity due to 5-HT1A receptor stimulation by 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) was unchanged in these animals as compared with controls. In contrast, in vitro and in vivo electrophysiological recordings of serotoninergic neurons in the dorsal raphe nucleus revealed a clearcut functional desensitization of somatodendritic 5-HT1A autoreceptors. Thus the potency of 8-OH-DPAT and ipsapirone to depress the firing rate of these neurons in brain stem slices was significantly reduced after the 2-week treatment with cericlamine. In vivo, the potency of an injection of cericlamine to inhibit the discharge of serotoninergic neurons was also markedly less in rats that had been pretreated for 2 weeks with this drug as compared with controls. However, the inhibitory effects of systemically injected 8-OH-DPAT and ipsapirone on the electrical activity of serotoninergic neurons were as pronounced in cericlamine-treated rats as in controls. In addition, the reduction in serotonin synthesis due to an acute treatment with 8-OH-DPAT (0.1 or 0.3 mg/kg s.c.) was not significantly different in both groups of rats. These data support the idea that postsynaptic (in the hippocampus) and somatodendritic (in the dorsal raphe nucleus) 5-HT1A receptors are differently regulated in the rat brain, because only the latter receptors desensitized after a long-term blockade of serotonin reuptake by cericlamine. They also suggest that the inhibitory influence of systemically administered direct 5-HT1A agonists such as 8-OH-DPAT and ipsapirone on the electrical and metabolic activity of serotoninergic neurons does not result solely from the stimulation of somatodendritic 5-HT1A autoreceptors.

Abstract
The effects of ipsapirone, a ligand of the 5-HT1A receptors and a new potential anxiolytic, on sleep/wakefulness regulation were examined in the rat. Injected i.p. at 1, 3 and 5 mg kg-1, this compound induced a dose-dependent reduction of paradoxical sleep for 2 to 4 hours, followed, at a dose of 5 mg kg-1, by a secondary rebound. The other states of vigilance were not modified, except at the latter dose where the amounts of wakefulness were enhanced initially and decreased secondarily, while those of SWS were enhanced from 2 to 4 hours post-treatment. The effects of ipsapirone (3 mg kg-1) persisted after infusion of the neurotoxin 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine into the dorsal raphe nucleus which induced the sub-total destruction of the serotoninergic system. Thus, the action of the 5-HT1A agonist ipsapirone on sleep/wakefulness cycles probably involves the stimulation of the post-synaptic 5-HT1A receptors.

Abstract
The potential 5-HT1A antagonist properties of the beta-antagonist tertatolol were assessed using biochemical and electrophysiological assays in the rat. (+/-) Tertatolol bound with high affinity (Ki = 38 nM) to 5-HT1A sites labelled by [3H]8-OH-DPAT in hippocampal membranes. The (-)stereoisomer (Ki = 18 nM) was about 50-fold more potent than the (+)stereoisomer (Ki = 864 nM) to inhibit the specific binding of [3H]-8-OH-DPAT. As expected of a 5-HT1A antagonist, (-)tertatolol prevented in a concentration-dependent manner (Ki = 24 nM) the inhibitory effect of 8-OH-DPAT on forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in rat hippocampal homogenates. Furthermore in vivo pretreatment with (-)tertatolol (5 mg/kg s.c.) significantly reduced the inhibitory influence of 8-OH-DPAT (0.3 mg/kg s.c.) on the accumulation of 5-hydroxytryptophan in various brain areas after the blockade of aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase by NSD-1015 (100 mg/kg i.p.). In vitro (in brainstem slices; Ki approximately 50 nM) and in vivo (in chloral hydrate anaesthetized rats; ID50 approximately 0.40 mg/kg i.v.), (-)tertatolol prevented the inhibitory effects of the 5-HT1A receptor agonists 8-OH-DPAT, ipsapirone and lesopitron on the firing rate of serotoninergic neurones within the dorsal raphe nucleus. In about 25% of these neurones, the basal firing rate was significantly increased by (-)tertatolol (up to +47% in vitro, and +30% in vivo). These data indicate that (-)tertatolol is a potent competitive antagonist at both pre (in the dorsal raphe nucleus)-and post (in the hippocampus)-synaptic 5-HT1A receptors in the rat brain.

Abstract
The effects of the selective lesion of serotoninergic neurons by an intra-raphe administration of 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine on the 5-HT1A receptor protein and the 5-HT1A receptor mRNA were examined in various regions of the rat brain using specific antibodies and an antisense riboprobe, respectively. Twenty one days after the treatment, the 5-HT1A receptor protein was no longer detected within the dorsal raphe nucleus but was still present in the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex. Quantitative in situ hybridization showed an 85% decrease in the levels of 5-HT1A receptor mRNA within the dorsal raphe nucleus, but no significant change in the hippocampus, interpeduncular nucleus and entorhinal cortex of 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine-treated rats. These data demonstrate that 5-HT1A receptors are synthesized by serotoninergic neurons in the dorsal raphe nucleus, and by neurons located postsynaptically with regard to serotoninergic projections in other areas. The unchanged levels of 5-HT1A receptor mRNA in the hippocampus, interpeduncular nucleus and entorhinal cortex three weeks after the extensive lesion of serotoninergic neurons are consistent with the absence of 5-HT1A receptor up regulation already reported under this condition.

Abstract
Anxiolytic drugs, such as the benzodiazepines and the azapirones (ipsapirone, gepirone, buspirone), are well known to affect states of vigilance and to decrease the firing rate of serotoninergic neurones within the dorsal raphe nucleus in rats. In order to examine whether the newly developed 5-HT3 antagonists with potential anxiolytic properties act through similar mechanisms, the effects of several of such antagonists: MDL 72222, ICS 205-930, ondansetron and/or zacopride on both sleep-wakefulness and the discharge of serotoninergic neurones within the dorsal raphe nucleus were investigated in rats. When tested in a wide range of doses (0.05-10 mg/kg, i.p.), none of these drugs significantly affected the states of vigilance, except ondansetron, at 0.1 mg/kg, which increased paradoxical sleep for the first 2 hr after administration and MDL 72222, at 10 mg/kg, which reduced both paradoxical and slow wave sleep and increased wakefulness for the same initial period after treatment. In vivo, in chloral hydrate anaesthetized rats, as well as in vitro, in slices of brain stem, none of the 5-HT3 antagonists tested affected the firing rate of serotoninergic neurones. Similarly, no change in the electrical activity of serotoninergic neurones could be evoked in vitro by superfusion of the tissue with the 5-HT3 agonists, phenylbiguanide (10 microM) and 2-methyl-5-HT (1 microM). At a larger concentration (10 microM), the latter compound reduced the neuronal discharge probably through the stimulation of somatodendritic 5-HT1A autoreceptors since this effect, as that of ipsapirone, could be prevented by 10 microM l-propranolol. Comparison of these data with those obtained with benzodiazepines and 5-HT1A agonists of the azapirone series, supports the concept that different mechanisms are responsible for the anxiolytic-like properties of 5-HT3 agonists, compared to those of other anxiolytic drugs.

Abstract
Previous studies have indicated a 5-HT2-mediated inhibitory influence on unit activity in the locus coeruleus. In the present work, attempts were made to determine which area(s) of the brain is (are) involved in this effect: (1) Microiontophoretic application of serotoninergic compounds (quipazine, ketanserin, RU 24969 (Roussel Uclaf), 8-hydroxy-2(di-n-propylamino) tetralin (8-OH-DPAT), metergoline, serotonin) in the locus coeruleus, did not alter the coerulean discharge. Local microinjection of quipazine or ketanserin in the area of the locus coeruleus, as well as in one of its major afferents, the prepositus hypoglossi, had no effect on the unit activity in the locus coeruleus. (2) Section of the forebrain, caudal to the frontal cortex (rich in 5-HT2 receptors), did not modify the effects of coerulean activity of quipazine-ketanserin injected systemically: quipazine induced an inhibition which was reversed by ketanserin. In contrast, these effects were significantly reduced after the bilateral or contralateral lesion of the prepositus hypoglossi. It is concluded that the prepositus hypoglossal nucleus is part of the network responsible for the 5-HT2-mediated control of unit activity in the locus coeruleus.

Abstract
Sleep-wakefulness patterns were analyzed during a 15-day period in the rat, in relation to induction of helplessness. After a session of inescapable electric footshocks, rats did exhibit escape deficits in avoidance conditioning as classically described, and their spontaneous sleep-wakefulness patterns were not different from those of controls. However, reduced PS latency and increased PS amounts were observed in the helpless group after shuttle-box sessions, especially during the initial period after the induction of helplessness. Such modifications of PS latency and PS amounts are evocative of the sleep impairments classically observed in endogenous depression.
