Abstract
PURPOSE: During the last decade, the reported prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing in adults has been rapidly increasing. Therefore, automatic methods of sleep assessment are of particular interest. In a framework of translational neuroscience, this study introduces a reliable automatic detection system of behavioral sleep in laboratory rats based on the signal recorded at the cortical surface without requiring electromyography. METHODS: Experimental data were obtained in 16 adult male WAG/Rij rats at the age of 9 months. Electrocorticographic signals (ECoG) were recorded in freely moving rats during the entire day (22.5 ± 2.2 h). Automatic wavelet-based assessment of behavioral sleep (BS) was proposed. The performance of this wavelet-based method was validated in a group of rats with genetic predisposition to absence epilepsy (n=16) based on visual analysis of their behavior in simultaneously recorded video. RESULTS: The accuracy of automatic sleep detection was 98% over a 24-h period. An automatic BS assessment method can be adjusted for detecting short arousals during sleep (microarousals) with various duration. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that automatic wavelet-based assessment of behavioral sleep can be used for assessment of sleep quality. Current analysis indicates a temporal relationship between microarousals, sleep, and epileptic discharges in genetically prone subjects.
