Electroencephalographic changes with age in male mice.

B E Eleftheriou, A J Zolovick, M F Elias

    Gerontologia
    |January 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Aging male mice show altered sleep patterns, with DBA/2J mice exhibiting accelerated aging compared to C57BL/6J mice. REM sleep was notably absent in older DBA/2J mice.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Gerontology
    • Sleep Science

    Background:

    • Aging significantly impacts physiological processes, including sleep architecture.
    • Understanding strain-specific aging patterns in mice is crucial for gerontological research.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate age-related changes in electroencephalographic (EEG) sleep patterns in two distinct mouse strains (DBA/2J and C57BL/6J).
    • To compare the aging trajectories of DBA/2J and C57BL/6J mice based on their sleep profiles.

    Main Methods:

    • Recording electroencephalographic (EEG) data to measure awake state, slow-wave sleep (SWS), and rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep.
    • Analyzing sleep patterns in aging male mice of DBA/2J and C57BL/6J strains at various ages.

    Main Results:

    • Both strains showed increased awake time and decreased SWS with age.
    • These age-related sleep changes were more pronounced in DBA/2J mice.
    • REM sleep was completely absent in DBA/2J mice at 23.5 months of age.

    Conclusions:

    • The DBA/2J mouse strain exhibits a faster aging phenotype compared to the C57BL/6J strain, as indicated by sleep pattern alterations.
    • The observed differences highlight the genetic influence on aging processes and the need for further investigation.
