Sleep and Hibernation

A typical night’s sleep

Sleep cycles Patterns of brain activity during different sleep states

What essential function does sleep serve? Why do we sleep? Sleep is essential for survival Fatal Familial Insomnia Animal studies of sleep deprivation What essential function does sleep serve? Human studies: Not physical or physiological well-being Cognitive-sleep deprive, get hallucinations, impaired perceptions, and decreased concentration Missed sleep is ‘made up’, especially Stage 4 and REM sleep Blood flow and cerebral metabolism decrease in stage 4 sleep, so is sleep a way to get brain rest?

Why do we sleep? Animal Studies: Sleep deprive without increasing exercise/stress factors: Yolked-control rotating platform expt. Experimental animals were 87% sleep deprived, controls ~30% Sleep deprivation led to sickliness, cessation of grooming fur, weak, uncoordinated movement, inability to regulate body temp, increased eating, but weight loss due to increased metabolic rate, and death Cause of death undetermined. NOT stress hormones, inflammation, changes to brain or internal organs, or decreased caloric intake (when fed high calorie meals)

Why do we sleep? More clues… No correlation between sleep and physical exercise Positive correlation between daytime brain activity and nighttime delta wave activity in human subjects Somatosensory cortex--stimulate hand, see increase in delta activity in contralateral SS cortex Function of REM sleep Increased pressure to get ‘rebound sleep’ when deprived, most of which is REM sleep. Suggests it is homeostatically regulated. Highest proportion of REM sleep during development Does brain development lead to REM sleep? Does REM sleep promote brain development?*

Why do we sleep? REM sleep in adults--2 possibilities Learn new things, need to strengthen synapses, make new synapses, changes in AMPA and NMDA receptors occur during sleep Need to rid the brain of all the extraneous information you ‘learned’ during the day; sleep gets rid of irrelevantly strengthened synapses Called depotentiation; allows you to learn new things the next day If sleep deprived (maintain potentiated state) animals had a harder time achieving LTP

Sleep is a homeostatic process

Hibernation is not a long bout of sleep Many differences between hibernation and sleep. Posture is one. Hibernate in tightly curled postures to conserve heat.

Hibernation is characterized by very low body temperature Arctic ground squirrel. Handling prior to the first wakeful bout aroused the animal Hypothermia is neuroprotective-but not well tolerated in non-hibernating species. Understanding mechanisms could aid in improving tolerance in humans.

Increased levels of the antioxidant ascorbic acid (vitamin C) AGS and TLS are two different species of ground squirrel

Takes a bigger injury to elicit pathology when hibernating

Immunosuppression during hibernation Leukocytes are removed from circulation and stored, not destroyed bc they reappear rapidly when the animal returns to euthermia Possible mechanism through ICAM-1.

Synaptic Remodeling Fewer synapses Less maintenance energy Less transmission energy Reduced oxidants Higher threshold to respond
