Age-Dependent Increase of Absence Seizures and Intrinsic Frequency Dynamics of Sleep Spindles in Rats

Figure 1

Examples of epileptic activity (spike-wave discharges, SWD) and sleep spindles as recorded in frontal EEG in WAG/Rij rat at different ages. Note that at the age of 5 months, waveform of SWD was immature (waxing-winning envelope, unstable amplitude of spikes in a train).
