Its wide interdisciplinary approach facilitates a more complex understanding of the brain, covering various areas in depth. However, many phenomena that fascinate human kind are far from being fully elucidated, such as the formation of memories and sleep. In this study we investigated the role of the dopaminergic system in the process of memory consolidation and modulation of the phases of sleep-wake cycle. We used two groups of animals: wildtype mice and hiperdopaminergic mice, heterozygous for the gene encoding the dopamine transporter protein. We observed in wild-type mice that the partial blockade of the D2 dopamine receptor by the drug haloperidol caused deficits in memory consolidation for object recognition, as well as a significant reduction in the duration of rapid eye movement sleep (REM). We also found a mnemonic deficit without pharmacological intervention in hiperdopaminergic animals; this deficit was reversed with haloperidol. The results suggest that dopamine plays a key role in memory consolidation for object recognition. The data also support a functional relationship between the dopaminergic system and the modulation of REM sleep / As descobertas da neuroci?ncia est?o em franca ascens?o. A sua grande interdisciplinaridade facilita uma abordagem mais complexa do c?rebro, abrangendo com profundidade diversas ?reas. No entanto, muitos fen?menos que fascinam a humanidade est?o longe de ser completamente elucidados; nesse contexto se encontra a rela??o entre a consolida??o das mem?rias e o sono. Nesse trabalho investigamos o papel de parte do sistema dopamin?rgico no processo de consolida??o de mem?rias e na modula??o das fases do ciclo sono-vig?lia. Utilizamos dois grupos de animais: camundongos selvagens e camundongos hiperdopamin?rgicos, heterozigotos para o gene que codifica a prote?na transportadora de dopamina. Observamos em camundongos selvagens que o bloqueio parcial dos receptores dopamin?rgicos da fam?lia D2 pela droga haloperidol provocou d?ficits na consolida??o da mem?ria de reconhecimento de objetos, bem como uma redu??o significativa do tempo de dura??o do sono de movimento r?pido dos olhos (MRO). Observamos tamb?m um d?ficit, sem interven??o farmacol?gica, em animais hiperdopamin?rgicos; tal d?ficit foi revertido com a droga haloperidol. Os resultados indicam que a dopamina desempenha um papel importante no processo de consolida??o de mem?rias de reconhecimento de objetos. Os dados tamb?m corroboram uma rela??o funcional entre o sistema dopamin?rgico e a modula??o da fase do sono MRO
