Fig. 2. Narcolepsy symptoms and vigilance states are differentially regulated.
a EEG/EMG traces of a typical cataplexy bout in HcrtKO/KO mouse and b the absolute power density for the 40 s EEG signal (10 × 4s epochs) indicated in (a). c Cataplexy number and duration during both baseline and recovery dark periods (one-way ANOVA, genotype F (4, 21) = 11.72 (baseline) and 14.99 (recovery), P < 0.0001, followed by Tukey test). d Wake bout duration (left) and number (right) in the baseline dark period. e Distribution of NREMS bout durations during baseline dark period (one-way ANOVA, genotype F (4, 21) = 9.7 (16 s, P < 0.001), 20.87 (32 s, P < 0.0001) and 18.12 (256 s, P < 0.0001), followed by Tukey test, *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001). Values are mean ± SD. f Time-course of the EEG delta power (1–4 Hz) in all genotypes in the course of the 3-day recording (baselines are averaged). Each dot represents one percentile (see “Methods”) (two-way ANOVA, interaction time × genotype F (124, 651) = 2.58, P < 0.0001, followed by Dunnett’s test, WT vs 5HTT KO /KO *, 5HTT+/KO;HcrtKO/KO *, DKO *, HcrtKO/KO *, P < 0.05, # P < 0.01 WT vs all other genotypes). g EEG power spectra of all genotypes in NREMS during light (left) and dark (right) periods. Insets indicate amplification for specific EEG frequencies and g’ represents the lack of slow-delta activity in cataplexy-exhibiting mice (two-way ANOVA, interaction frequency × genotype F (388, 2037) = 3.244.8 (light), 2.52 (dark), P < 0.0001, followed by Dunnett’s test, WT vs 5HTT+/KO;HcrtKO/KO *, DKO *, 5HTTKO/KO *, HcrtKO/KO * P < 0.05). Values are mean ± SD. h Time-course distribution of TDW amounts. Data points are shown in minutes/hour and represent the average of 2 h (baselines are averaged), (two-way ANOVA, interaction time × genotype F (92, 483) = 2.63, P < 0.0001, followed by Dunnett’s test, WT vs 5HTT+/KO;HcrtKO/KO *, DKO *, 5HTTKO/KO *, HcrtKO/KO * P < 0.05). i EEG power spectra in TDW during light (left) and dark (right) periods. Values are mean ± SD and expressed as the percentage of each mouse’s total baseline EEG power (two-way ANOVA, interaction frequency × genotype F (388, 2037) = 3.37 (light) and 1.84 (dark), P < 0.0001, followed by Dunnett’s test, *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001, WT vs 5HTT+/KO;HcrtKO/KO *, DKO *, 5HTTKO/KO *, HcrtKO/KO *. DKO: n = 7, 5HTTKO/KO: n = 4, HcrtKO/KO: n = 5, 5HTT+/KO;HcrtKO/KO: n = 6 and WT: n = 4.
