Seven unique frequency profiles for scoring vigilance states in preclinical electrophysiological data by Freja Gam Østergaard, Martien J. H. Kas

“…When applying the new method to the neurexin-1α (Nrxn1α) gene deficient mouse, a model of synaptic dysfunction relevant to autism spectrum disorders, several genotype differences in the 24-h distribution of vigilance states were detected. Most prominent was the decrease in slow-wave sleep when comparing wild-type mice to Nrxn1α-deficient mice. …”
