Distribution of EEG waves in the cortex and VTA in sleep and awake states

Sleep Awake
Cortex VTA Cortex VTA
Delta power, % 27.16±1.04 31.77±0.98*** 17.93±0.96ooo 22.35±1.30**,ooo
Theta power, % 32.85±0.59 31.93±0.63 37.84±2.04o 30.47±1.36***
Alpha power, % 25.95±0.83 22.97±0.79* 19.88±1.00oo 19.42±0.88oo
Beta power, % 10.73±0.36 10.50±0.43 14.69±0.63ooo 15.97±0.80ooo
Gamma power, % 3.33±0.37 2.99±0.32 11.29±0.91ooo 11.36±1.06ooo

Each value of individual wave powers represents the mean±standard errors for 60-s period preceding saline injection (baseline). Two types of symbols (* and o) are used to show between-structure differences in the same state and between-state differences in the same structure Student's t-test.
