Objective.
To investigate the effects of high-frequency stimulation of the habenula (Hb) on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) induced by stimulation of the insular cortex Method.
After OSA was induced by stimulating the insular cortex (Ic) with concentric stimulating electrodes at 100 Hz in rats, the Hb was stimulated at different frequencies (50 Hz, 120 Hz, 130 Hz, and 280 Hz).
The changes of apnea events and electromyography (EMG) of the genioglossus were compared before and after stimulation of the Hb.
Results.
With stimulation of the Ic at 100 Hz, apnea events were successfully induced with disappearance of EMG of the genioglossus.
After stimulation of the Hb at 130 Hz, apnea events disappeared with significantly increased genioglossal EMG.
However, such a change failed to be found at the stimulation frequencies of 50 Hz, 120 Hz, and 280 Hz.
Conclusion.
Stimulation of the Hb at the frequency of 130 Hz could effectively inhibit OSA events induced by stimulation of the Ic.
