Chronic antidepressant treatment rescues abnormally reduced REM sleep theta power in socially defeated rats
Abstract The effects of chronic antidepressant (AD) treatment on sleep disturbances in rodent chronic stress models have not been thoroughly investigated. Here, we show that chronic social defeat stress (SDS) in rats induces prolonged social avoidance, alterations in sleep architecture (increased to...
