Abstract
Sleep deficiency is known as an important risk factor for relapse to drug abuse, especially for the powerful psychostimulant methamphetamine (METH). On the other hand, both drug addiction and sleep neurobiology are affected by sex hormones. We, therefore, aimed to examine the probable effects of sleep deprivation (SD) on methamphetamine (METH) reward memory in male and female rats. Moreover, we asked if sex hormones influence the effects of SD on METH reward memory. Adult male and female Wistar rats were divided into two main groups, sham and gonadectomized groups. Three weeks later, they were conditioned to receive METH (2 mg/kg, i.p.) in the conditioned place preference. METH reward memory was then reinstated following a 10-day extinction period. SD was induced for 72 h, either before or after extinction, in different groups. In gonadectomized animals, they daily received either subcutaneous administration of estrogen (5 μg/0.1 ml oil) or progesterone (2 mg/0.1 ml oil) or dihydrotestosterone (25 mg/0.1 ml oil) for thirteen days, from post-conditioning day to reinstatement session. We found that SD facilitated relapse to METH reward memory, depending on the time interval between SD and METH reinstatement. Furthermore, we found that estrogen and SD showed synergistic effects to facilitate METH reward memory, whereas testosterone and progesterone revealed inhibitory effects in the controls, but not in the SD, animals. Our findings would seem to suggest that sex hormones should be considered as determinant factors to manage METH abuse and relapse to METH seeking/taking behavior, especially for those with sleep deficiency.

Abstract
Reducing sleep hours is a risk factor for developing cardiovascular, metabolic, and psychiatric disorders. Furthermore, previous studies have shown that reduction in sleep time is a factor that favors relapse in addicted patients. Additionally, animal models have demonstrated that both sleep restriction and sleep deprivation increase the preference for alcohol, methylphenidate, and the self-administration of cocaine. Therefore, the present review discusses current knowledge about the influence of sleep hours reduction on addictivebehaviors; likewise, we discuss the neuronal basis underlying the sleep reduction-addiction relationship, like the role of the orexin and dopaminergic system and neuronal plasticity (i.e., delta FosB expression). Potentially, chronic sleep restriction could increase brain vulnerability and promote addictive behavior.

Abstract
Maternal sleep-deprivation (MSD) has been shown to induce stress, hyperactivity, and risk taking behavior in the offspring; howbeit, it is not yet clear whether it may also affect vulnerability to psychostimulant abuse in the offspring. We aimed to determine whether MSD affects extinction and reinstatement of methamphetamine (METH) reward memory in the offspring and also to evaluate the possible role of dopamine D1-like and D2-like receptors in these processes. Thirty-day-old male offspring born to control and sleep-deprived dams (during the third week of pregnancy) were trained to acquire METH-induced place preference (2 mg/kg., i.p.). METH reward memory was then reinstated following an 8-day period of extinction. The offspring received SCH 23390 (0.03 or 0.1 mg/kg, i.p.) or sulpiride (20 or 60 mg/kg, i.p.) as antagonists of dopamine D1-like and D2-like receptors, respectively, either immediately after each daily extinction session or prior to the reinstatement session. MSD postponed METH extinction and facilitated METH reinstatement in the offspring. SCH 23390 facilitated METH extinction and decreased reinstatement of the extinguished METH preference. Sulpiride in the offspring from sleep-deprived dams facilitated METH extinction, but it did not affect reinstatement of the extinguished METH place preference. It seems that MSD may enhance vulnerability to METH abuse in the offspring. Furthermore, both dopamine D1-like and D2-like receptors may mediate METH extinction in the offspring born to the sleep-deprived dams; however, only the dopamine D1 receptor may play an important role in reinstating the extinguished METH reward memory in the offspring.

Abstract
This study set out to assess restingstate functional connectivity (rs-FN) and graph theorybased local efficiency within the left and right hemispheres of methamphetamine (MA) abusers. Functional brain networks of 19 MA abusers and 21 control participants were analyzed using restingstate fMRI. Graph edges in functional networks of the brain were defined and recurrence plot was used. We found that MA abuse may be accompanied by alterations of rs-FN within the defaultmode network (DMN), executive control network (ECN), and the salience network (SN) in both hemispheres of the brain. We also observed that such effects of MA may be correlated with duration of MA abuse and abstinence in many components of the DMN and SN. The results would seem to suggest that MAinduced alterations of local efficiency may, in part, account for maladaptive decision making, deficits in executive function and control over drug seeking/taking, and relapse.

Abstract
Insomnia is currently considered one of the potential triggers of accelerated aging. The frequency of registered sleep-wake cycle complaints increases with age and correlates with the quality of life of elderly people. Nevertheless, whether insomnia is actually an age-associated process or whether it acts as an independent stress-factor that activates pathological processes, remains controversial. In this study, we analyzed the effects of long-term sleep deprivation modeling on the locomotor and orienting-exploratory activity, spatial learning abilities and working memory of C57BL/6 female mice of different ages. We also evaluated the modeled stress influence on morphological changes in brain tissue, the functional activity of the mitochondrial apparatus of nerve cells, and the level of DNA methylation and mRNA expression levels of the transcription factor HIF-1α (Hif1) and age-associated molecular marker PLIN2. Our findings point to the age-related adaptive capacity of female mice to the long-term sleep deprivation influence. For young (1.5 months) mice, the modeled sleep deprivation acts as a stress factor leading to weight loss against the background of increased food intake, the activation of animals' locomotor and exploratory activity, their mnestic functions, and molecular and cellular adaptive processes ensuring animal resistance both to stress and risk of accelerated aging development. Sleep deprivation in adult (7-9 months) mice is accompanied by an increase in body weight against the background of active food intake, increased locomotor and exploratory activity, gross disturbances in mnestic functions, and decreased adaptive capacity of brain cells, that potentially increasing the risk of pathological reactions and neurodegenerative processes.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown the therapeutic properties of ginseng and ginsenosides on hyperactive and impulsive behaviors in several psychiatric diseases. Herein, we investigated the effect of Panax ginseng Meyer (PG) on hyperactive/impulsive behaviors in a manic-like animal model, sleep deprivation (SD) rats. Male rats were sleep-deprived for 48 h, and PG (200 mg/kg) was administered for 4 days, from 2 days prior to the start of SD to the end date of SD. The elevated plus maze (EPM) test showed that PG alleviated the increased frequency of entries into and spent time within open arms by SD. In order to investigate the molecular mechanism on this effect of PG, we assessed differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the prefrontal cortex of PG-treated SD rats using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and performed gene-enrichment analysis for DEGs. The gene-enrichment analysis showed that PG most prominently affected the glutamatergic synapse pathway. Among the glutamatergic synapse pathway genes, particularly, PG enhanced the expressions of glutamate transporter Slc1a3 and Slc1a2 reduced in SD rats. Moreover, we found that PG could inhibit the SD-induced phosphorylation of the NR2A subunit of the NMDA receptor. These results suggested that PG might have a therapeutic effect against the manic-like behaviors, regulating the glutamatergic neurotransmission.

Abstract
Memory reconsolidation is a process allowing previously consolidated memories to be updated. In order for memory reconsolidation to occur, a memory first needs to be reactivated. It has been shown recently that memory retrieval during awake/sleep phases may affect susceptibility to memory reactivation. Given the importance of hippocampal gamma frequencies in memory processes, the purpose of the present research was to study changes in gamma bands power during retrieval of instrumental appetitive memories. Local field potentials were recorded in the CA1 area of dorsal hippocampus of Sprague Dawley rats during retrieval of instrumental appetitive memory performed either during light or dark phases of the circadian cycle. Appetitive memory retrieval was performed by using a protocol of sucrose self-administration in operant chambers equipped with levers (Piva et al., 2018): rats were first trained to self-administer sucrose pellets and, after a 14-days forced abstinence stage, memory retrieval stage consisted in training context exposure. At the retrival stage performed during the light phase, a decreased low-gamma power was observed in CA1 when rats were not lever pressing compared to when they were lever pressing (actual instrumental memory retrieval). Moreover, results showed an inverse correlation between gamma power and rate of responding when retrieval was performed in the dark phase. Our findings suggest that hippocampal gamma power is differently modulated when retrieval is performed during the light phase compared to the dark phase. Further investigations should explore the role of gamma oscillations as potential markers of instrumental appetitive memory reactivation in both light and dark conditions.

Abstract
Environmental cues associated with drug abuse are powerful mediators of drug craving and relapse in substance-abuse disorders. Consequently, attenuating the strength of cue-drug memories could reduce the number of factors that cause drug craving and relapse. Interestingly, impairing cue-drug memory reconsolidation is a generally accepted strategy aimed at reducing the intensity of cues that trigger drug-seeking and drug-taking behaviors. In addition, the agranular insular cortex (AI) is an important component of the neural circuits underlying drug-related memory reconsolidation. GABAB receptors (GABABRs) are potential targets for the treatment of addiction, and baclofen (BLF) is the only prototypical GABAB agonist available for application in clinical addiction treatment. Furthermore, ΔFosB is considered a biomarker for the evaluation of potential therapeutic interventions for addiction. Here, we used the morphine-induced conditioned place preference (CPP) paradigm to investigate whether postretrieval microinjections of BLF into the AI could affect reconsolidation of drug-reward memory, reinstatement of CPP, and the level of ΔFosB in mice. Our results showed that BLF infused into the AI immediately following morphine CPP memory retrieval, but not 6 h postretrieval or following nonretrieval, could eliminate the expression of a morphine CPP memory. This effect persisted in a morphine-priming–induced reinstatement test, suggesting that BLF in the AI was capable of preventing the reconsolidation of the morphine CPP memory. Our results also showed that the elimination of morphine CPP memory was associated with reduced morphine-associated ΔFosB expression in the longer term. Taken together, the results of our research provide evidence to support that GABABRs in the AI have an important role in drug-cue memory reconsolidation and further our understanding of the role of the AI in drug-related learning and memory.

Abstract
A survey of the literature indicates that both rapid eye movement sleep deprivation (RSD) and activation of cannabinoid CB1 receptor (CB1R) may impair novel object recognition (NOR) memory in rodents. To our knowledge, so far, no previous study has investigated the probable effects of RSD on the different phases of NOR memory. Moreover, far too little attention has been paid to the potential role of the CB1R in the effects of RSD on object memory. Therefore, the major objective of this study was to investigate the probable role of the CB1R in the acquisition, consolidation, retrieval, and reconsolidation of NOR memory in the RSD rats. A 12-h paradigm of RSD using the multiple platform method did not affect acquisition, but it impaired the consolidation, retrieval, and reconsolidation of NOR memory. Administration of the CB1R antagonist rimonabant (1 or 3 mg/kg, i.p.) did not have significant effects on the acquisition and reconsolidation, but it improved RSD-induced impairment of the consolidation and retrieval of object memory, especially at the dose of 3 mg/kg. In addition, the RSD paradigm did not affect the levels of plasma corticosterone as an important marker of stress in rat. The results revealed that RSD may have different effects on the different phases of NOR memory which may not be attributable to the effects of stress. Our findings would seem to suggest that the CB1R can be targeted to, at least partially, modulate the adverse effects of RSD on the process of NOR memory.
