Figure 2. Motor activity and hypothalamic temperature.

Figure 2

Motor activity (MA; bars referring to the left axis) and hypothalamic temperature (Thy, °C; dots referring to the right axis) in rats (n = 8) under normal laboratory conditions (average of two days of baseline, BL), during a three-day water deprivation protocol (WD1, WD2, WD3), and in the two days of recovery (R1, R2) which followed the reestablishment of access to water. Values (means ± S.E.M.) for the 12-h Light (L, white symbols) and the 12-h Dark (D, black symbols) periods are shown. Statistically significant comparisons are shown: treatment vs. BL (*, P<0.05; †, P<0.01); D vs. L (§, P<0.05).
