Rats were subjected to a partial, selective paradoxical sleep (PS) deprivation. Two groups were trained in a shuttle avoidance task, one receiving posttraining amygdaloid stimulations (AS). A third group received AS, but was not trained. Levels of PS in the AS trained group were higher than in the AS non-trained controls, while the reverse was true for the slow wave sleep (SWS) measure. Both AS groups had levels of PS and SWS superior to the non-AS trained rats. In a second experiment, a group of normally rested AS animals was trained in the same task with a non-AS control group. These groups did not differ in terms of learning performance. Results were believed to support the hypothesis of a close relationship between sleep and learning.
对大鼠进行部分选择性异相睡眠（PS）剥夺。将两组大鼠训练穿梭箱回避任务，一组在训练后接受杏仁核刺激（AS）。第三组接受AS，但未进行训练。接受AS训练组的PS水平高于未接受AS训练的对照组，而慢波睡眠（SWS）测量结果则相反。两个接受AS组的PS和SWS水平均高于未接受AS训练的大鼠。在第二个实验中，一组正常休息的接受AS的动物与一个未接受AS的对照组一起训练同一任务。这些组在学习表现方面没有差异。结果被认为支持睡眠与学习之间密切关系的假设。
