Two days after remote preconditioning, total sleep increases by over 2 h. (A) Left panel: Experimental timeline for validating our paradigm of remote preconditioning (rPC) and modeled ischemic stroke via middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Mice were not outfitted with EEG/EMG electrodes. Brain infarct volume is expressed as a percentage of total contralateral hemisphere volume (adapted from ref. 12). (A) Right panel: Means ± SEM percent infarcted tissue in preconditioned mice and sham (anesthetized) mice. (B) Percent time mice spent in wake, total sleep (NREM+REM), and NREM and REM sleep prior to (blue) and two days after remote preconditioning (yellow) or no remote preconditioning (control) **P < 0.05, two-way ANOVA with Dunn-Sidak multiple comparison. n = 5 per treatment.
