Daily rhythms of (A) heart rate, (B) RMSSD, (C) spectral power in HF band (0.75–2.5 Hz) and (D) LF (0.2–0.75 Hz) to HF ratio in 4-month-old Wistar rats selectively bred for either high (HAB, n = 10) or low (LAB, n = 10) anxiety-related behavior. These values (reported as means ± SEM) were obtained by averaging multiple 2-min segments acquired every hour during the 12 h-light and 12 h-dark phases, as previously described in detail (Carnevali et al., 2014). Results of two-way ANOVA for repeated measures: group difference for RMSSD (F = 16.4, p < 0.01) and HF (F = 17.48, p < 0.01) values. Modified from Carnevali et al. (2014).
