The aim of this experiment was to determine if a task of associative olfactory learning, based on the ethological repertory of rats and learnt rapidly in 5 successive trials, could modify slow wave sleep (SWS) and/or paradoxical sleep (PS) duration after learning and/or after a retrieval-reactivation test 24 h later Somnopolygraphic recordings were performed for 20h per day on trained and control (submitted to a pseudo-learning test) rats SWS and PS durations were analyzed per 20 h and per 4 h time-periods. Compared to control rats. after learning, trained rats showed a significant increase in SWS duration counterbalanced by a significant decrease in wake duration focused on the 5-8 h post-training time-window and a significant decrease in PS duration during the 17-20 h post-training time-window. After the retrieval-reactivation test trained rats only showed a decreased PS duration compared to control rats submitted to a pseudo-retrieval test. Thus, a rather simple learning task succeeded in eliciting an increase in SWS duration in a limited time-window. As the learning task used can be compared to human associate-paired learning. this result sustains the hypothesis of a link between declarative memory and SWS. In control rats, changes in PS duration might be linked to odorized-environment exposure. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V All rights reserved
