Susceptible mice exhibit shorter NREM and REM bouts in NREM→REM→Wake compared to resilient and stress-naïve mice pre- and post-CSD
The duration of wake bouts was comparable among the phenotypes.
(A) NREM: Susceptible mice exhibit shorter duration of NREM bouts in NREM→REM→Wake compared to resilient and stress-naïve mice in the light and the dark pre- and post-CSD (p < 0.05 for all comparisons).
(B) REM: Pre-CSD: Susceptible exhibit shorter REM bouts compared to resilient and stress-naïve mice in the light and dark (p < 0.05 for both). Post-CSD: Light: Susceptible mice exhibit shorter REM bouts compared to stress-naïve (p < 0.05). Dark: Resilient mice exhibit shorter REM bouts compared to stress-naïve (p < 0.05).
(C) Wake: No difference in the duration of wake bouts between the phenotypes pre- and post-CSD either in the light or the dark in general, except for a difference between susceptible and stress-naïve mice pre-CSD in the light (p < 0.05). Values are pooled individual bouts duration for each phenotype separated for the light and dark separately pre- and post-CSD. p values are computed via bootstrap method and Bonferroni-corrected for multiple comparisons. N = 7-8 for each group.
