Abstract excerpt
Sleep deprivation (SD) can suppress cell proliferation in the hippocampal dentate gyrus of adult male rodents, suggesting that sleep may contribute to hippocampal functions by promoting neurogenesis. However, suppression of cell proliferation in rats by the platform-over-water SD method has been attributed to elevated corticosterone (Cort), a potent inhibitor of cell proliferation and nonspecific correlate of...
