behavior/neurological
N |
• total time spent in wake and non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREMS) is normal
|
• under constant darkness, mice exhibit reduced amplitude of behavioral circadian rhythm compared with wild-type mice
• however, mice exhibit normal circadian period lengths
|
• short rapid eye movement sleep (REMS) episode duration and total REMS time resulting in highly unstable REMS compared with wild-type mice
• under constant darkness, mice exhibit reduced REMS time compared with wild-type mice
|
nervous system
• deep mesencephalic neurons exhibit depolarization and higher spontaneous firing rates compared with wild-type mice
|
• mice exhibit decreased theta-range power during non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREMS) and short rapid eye movement sleep (REMS) and increased low-frequency power during the wake state and EMS compared with wild-type mice
