[Pharmacological suppression of paradoxical sleep in the newborn rat (author's transl)]. 1977

J L Valatx, and T Nowaczyck

In an attempt to suppress paradoxical sleep (PS) an intracerebral injection of 6 0HDA was carried out on rat faetuses at a gestational age of 16-20 days. In these animals a delay in maturation occurred compared to controls, the only modification of sleep being observed however, related to the circadian rhythmn of PS. The possible reasons for this are discussed within the framework of a concept relating paradoxical sleep to cerebral maturation.

D005865 Gestational Age The age of the conceptus, beginning from the time of FERTILIZATION. In clinical obstetrics, the gestational age is often estimated from the onset of the last MENSTRUATION which is about 2 weeks before OVULATION and fertilization. It is also estimated to begin from fertilization, estrus, coitus, or artificial insemination.
