Changes in electroencephalographic power (ΔEEG, dB), spectral edge frequency (ΔSEF, Hz), carotid blood flow (CaBF, % baseline), and carotid vascular conductance (CaVC, % baseline) in the sham occlusion (open circles), occlusion-vehicle (closed circles), and occlusion-Epo animals (closed squares). Time point zero denotes the period (25 min) of umbilical cord occlusion. Data are hourly averages and presented as mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05, occlusion-vehicle vs. sham occlusion; #P < 0.05, occlusion-Epo vs. sham occlusion; $P < 0.05, occlusion-vehicle vs. occlusion-Epo.
