Table 1.
Effects of optogenetic stimulation (0 vs. 10 Hz) of astrocytes on number and length of bouts of wake, NREM and REM sleep in wild‐type mice (n = 7)
| Number of bouts | Length of bouts (s) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 Hz | 10 Hz | 0 Hz | 10 Hz | |
| Wake | 19.36 (3.72) | 33.86* (2.29) | 989.96 (196.2) | 399* (45.5) |
| NREM | 19.07 (3.16) | 34.29* (2.8) | 315.89 (27.8) | 244* (20.37) |
| REM | 4.14 (0.59) | 8.43 (2.17) | 69.77 (7.43) | 66.29 (7.18) |
Data represent the mean (±SEM) number and length of bouts during the 6‐h stimulation period (first half of lights‐off period). *Paired t‐test vs. 0 Hz; P < 0.05.
