[The dynamics of the normalization of the behavioral and neurochemical disorders evoked in rats by deprivation of the paradoxical sleep phase].

The 24-hr deprivation of paradoxical sleep interferes with the passive avoidance response in rats and decreases the absolute amount of proteins in neurons and gliocytes of the raphe nucleus' dorsal portion while increasing the amount of proteins and nucleic acids in the locus coeruleus' cells. The protein metabolism in serotoninergic cells of the raphe nucleus seems to be involved in the processes of memory and behaviour.
