ABSTRACT
Brain responses to external stimuli such as light are preserved under general anesthesia. In nocturnal animals, acute light exposure can induce sleep, and acute dark can increase wakefulness. This study aims to investigate the effect of acute continuous nocturnal light exposure (ACNLE) on burst-suppression patterns under sevoflurane anesthesia using electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring in mice. We set the initial sevoflurane dose to 2.0% and increased it by 0.5% every 20 min until it reached 4.0%. Burst-suppression ratio (BSR), EEG power and quantitative burst analysis were used to assess the effects of ACNLE on burst suppression patterns under sevoflurane anesthesia. Blood serum corticosterone measurement and c-Fos immunofluorescent staining of the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and ventrolateral preoptic nucleus (VLPO) were used to demonstrate the biological consequence induced by ACNLE. Compared to darkness, ACNLE caused significant changes in EEG power and decrease of BSR at 2.5%, 3.0% and 3.5% sevoflurane. ACNLE was also associated with an increase in burst duration and burst frequency as well as a decrease in burst maximum peak-to-peak amplitude and burst power in the beta (15-25 Hz) and gamma (25-80 Hz) bands. ACNLE increased the concentration of serum corticosterone and the expression of c-Fos in the SCN, while not changed c-Fos expression in the VLPO. These results demonstrated that ACNLE influences the BSR under sevoflurane anesthesia, possibly by activating light-sensitive nonvisual pathways including SCN and increasing of peripheral serum corticosterone levels.
