Our study showed the effects of GABA antagonist treatment on sleep and decision-making in Ts65Dn mice. We administered a daily, low oral dose of pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) in milk to Ts65Dn mice for 17 days. Decision-making was tested with and without PTZ treatment. Short and long-term memories were tested before, immediately after, and 1 month following PTZ treatment. Electro-encephalography was also recorded at these three time points to study the effect of the treatment on sleep. We showed that PTZ treatment improved long-term recognition, but not short term memory and led to more Ts65Dn mice showing safer decision-making behavior. PTZ treatment showed a moderate and only global beneficial effect on sleep by decreasing the global amount of wake and increasing non-rapid eye movement sleep in the Ts65Dn mice, which may explain the observed cognitive improvements.
