EEG Radiotelemetry in Small Laboratory Rodents: A Powerful State-of-the Art Approach in Neuropsychiatric, Neurodegenerative, and Epilepsy Research

Application of EEG radiotelemetry, analysis of sleep architecture. (a) Typical time scale illustrating long-term recording of spontaneous sleep, pharmacologically induced sleep using urethane, and sleep deprivation. (b) Sleep analysis is an important tool in characterization of circadian aspects of central rhythmicity in control and transgenic mice. This figure depicts representative hypnograms (W, wake state; P, paradoxical sleep; SWS1, slow-wave sleep 1; SWS2, slow-wave sleep 2; L, light cycle; D, dark cycle) from a control and a transgenic mouse lacking the R-type voltage-gated Ca²⁺ channel [94].
