0034 Age and Sex Differences in Sleep-Wake Organization of Fischer 344 Rats

[摘要] IntroductionRats are extensively used for studying various behavioral, physiological, and pathophysiological processes, including sleep and aging. While sex and aging have been recognized as critical risk factors for sleep disruption, most of the sleep studies have used only male subjects. The effects of aging on the sleep-wake organization in both sexes of rats are not well studied. We systematically examined the effects of aging on sleep-wake architecture in both sexes of Fischer-344 rats.
