Olfactory Bulb Field Potentials and Respiration in Sleep-Wake States of Mice by Jakob Jessberger, Weiwei Zhong, Jurij Brankačk, Andreas Draguhn

“…It is therefore important to measure RR and to delineate it from endogenous electrical rhythms like theta which cover similar frequency bands in small rodents. In order to validate such measurements in freely behaving mice, we compared rhythmic LFP in the OB with two respiration-related biophysical parameters: whole-body plethysmography (PG) and nasal temperature (thermocouple; TC). …”
