Integrated peak EMG activity of different respiratory muscles across brain-state transitions in urethane-anesthetized rats
REM-like | Transition | nREM-like | |

Peak ∫DIAEMG | 0.99 ± 0.23 (0.56) | 0.97 ± 0.22* (0.007) | 1 ± 0.23 |
Peak ∫INTEMG | 0.98 ± 0.31 (0.3) | 0.97 ± 0.28 (0.09) | 1 ± 0.29 |
Peak ∫GGEMG | 0.74 ± 0.22* (0.03) | 0.70 ± 0.19* (0.04) | 1 ± 0.31 |
Peak ∫ABDEMG | 1.81 ± 0.62 (0.06) | 1.35 ± 0.11* (0.04) | 1 ± 0.23 |
2.49 ± 0.94** (0.048) | 1.81 ± 0.64 (0.05) | ||

Averaged integrated peak EMG values for DIA, INT, GG, ABD, and LL muscles for the REM-like, transition, and nREM-like states in urethane-anesthetized rats. Values were normalized to the averaged EMG peak value obtained during nREM-like state. Values in parentheses are p values for comparison between nREM-like state and REM-like or transition states.
*p < 0.05, statistical significance of states (REM-like or transition) relative to nREM-like epochs.
**p < 0.05, statistical significance of changes during plateau period of abdominal activation in REM-like relative to nREM-like epochs.
