GABAergic Signaling Underlying REM Sleep Deprivation-Induced Spatial Working Memory Deficits.
Article in Brain and behavior, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionDeclining spatial working memory (WM) is an early hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Sleep disturbance exacerbates spatial WM and increases AD risk. The GABAergic system, crucial for sleep regulation, may mediate this link. We thus investigate the relationship between spatial WM and hippocampal GABAergic signaling during rapid eye movement sleep deprivation (REM-SD) in AD model mice.
methodsWe assessed spatial and non-spatial WM, locomotor activity, and anxiety-like behavior in 6-month-old triple transgenic (3xTg) AD mice and wild-type (WT) controls, with and without REM-SD (5 days, 4 h/day). We then used immunofluorescence to quantify GABA
resultsREM-SD increased locomotor activity, reduced anxiety-like behavior, and improved non-spatial WM in 3xTg-AD mice. Conversely, REM-SD impaired spatial WM in WT mice, which was also demonstrated in 3xTg-AD mice. Increased hippocampal GABA levels are correlated with improved non-spatial WM in 3xTg+SD mice. In contrast, impaired spatial WM in WT+SD mice was associated with elevated hippocampal GABA and GABA
conclusionREM-SD-induced alterations in WM performance are linked to GABAergic signaling changes in the PFC and hippocampus, with distinct patterns in WT and 3xTg-AD mice. This study provides insight into AD pathologies and potential therapeutic targets for sleep-related cognitive impairments.
