Table 3.

Spindle numbers and percentage for each behavioral state across 4-hour records in four mice

Total spindles NREM spindles “Wake” spindles “Wake” spindles with NREM-like EMG “Wake” to NREM spindles NREM to “Wake” spindles REM spindles
Mean ± SEM 902.5 ± 14.0 805.8 ± 20.8 44.0 ± 19.4 29.0 ± 9.1 4.3 ± 2.4 13.8 ± 4.6 52.8 ± 9.3
% Total spindles ± SEM 89.3 ± 1.4 4.9 ± 2.2 3.2 ± 1.1 0.5 ± 0.3 1.5 ± 0.5 0.1 ± 0.01

Spindles detected during wakefulness were compared to their temporally aligned EMG signal. NREM-like EMG is defined as values less than three standard deviations above the mean of RMS transformed EMG activity during NREM.
