ABSTRACT
The organization of sleep during and after frequentative convulsions, consisting of 2, 3, or 5 comparatively rare seizures (following one another with a 90-minute interval) or of 3, 5 or 9 comparatively frequent seizures (following one another with a 45-minute interval) of generalized tonic-clonic character in Krushinskii-Molodkina strain rats with inherited predisposition to audiogenic convulsions, was studied. In frequentative convulsions with rare seizures, between separate seizures, passive wakefulness (75.2 +/- 4.6% time) prevailed under low (24.8 +/- 4.3%) slow-wave sleep and full absence of fast-wave sleep. In rats under frequentative convulsions with frequent seizures, in interictal period, only passive wakefulness was observed under reduction of slow-wave sleep and fast-wave sleep, i.e. total sleep deprivation. Minimal latensy of first episodes of the slow-wave sleep after frequentative convulsions was 59.9 +/- 10.8, and of fast-wave sleep 158.2 +/- 13.4 min. First episodes of slow-wave sleep and fast-wave sleep had normal structure, though they were lesser and shorter than in control experiments. In spite of long-lasting (up to 7 hrs) absence of slow-wave sleep during seizure and prolonged (8.5 hrs) reduction of fast-wave sleep with no subsequent compensatory increase, these conditions occurred in the wakefulness-sleep cycle during 12-hour reconstruction after convulsions. The reconstruction period after frequentative convulsions was characterized by increase in general share of wakefulness and reduction of total slow-wave and fast-wave sleep as compared with control data. Paroxysmal status seems to disorganize work of the brain somnogenic structures. The function of systems responsible for slow-wave sleep are affected to a lesser extent, but disorganization of the system responsible for fast-wave sleep is more significant and associated with mechanisms of starting the phase of sleep in the first place.
