behavior/neurological
• mice exhibit an increase in voluntary activity level in the wheel-running test during the light phase, but no change during the dark phase; activity is especially high at 9 am and especially low during the 1st half of the active phase
• mice exhibit an increase in activity level during the rest (light) phase and during the active (dark) phase in the continuous open field
• however, mice show no difference in the latency to withdraw from the heat stimuli in the tail-flick test
|
• analysis of sleep-like behaviors indicates an increase in probability of waking in the rest phase, especially at 7 am, 8 am and the 2nd half of the rest phase, but not in the active phase
