Effects of social defeat stress (SDS) and chronic antidepressant (AD) treatment on electroencephalography (EEG) spectral power. (a) A representative spectrogram showing the predominant frequency band at the theta range (arrowhead) during wakefulness and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep (30 s/epoch). (b) EEG-relative power spectra during NREM sleep in the light phase (ZT0–ZT8.5). The black bar indicates the selected delta (2.5–4 Hz) band. (c) Average relative spectral power of the delta band during NREM sleep. F(5, 96) = 5.638, p = 0.0001, ***p < 0.0005, ****p < 0.0001, two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. (d) A significant negative correlation between NREM sleep duration during the light phase and the relative delta power (2.5–4 Hz). p = 0.0013, r = −0.6661. (e) Relative power spectra during REM sleep in the light phase. The black bar shows the selected theta (5–9 Hz) band. (f) Average relative theta power during REM sleep. F(45, 256) = 3.033, p < 0.0001, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.005, ****p < 0.0001, two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. (g) Time-dependent effects of fluoxetine (FLU) on average relative spectral powers during REM sleep. F(15, 144) = 18.28, p < 0.0001, *p < 0.05, two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparisons test.
