Abstract excerpt
The taiep rat is a myelin mutant whose immobility episodes (IEs) can be caused by gripping them by the tail. Electroencephalographic recordings during IEs show a rapid-eye movement sleep-like pattern, similar to narcolepsy-cataplexy in canines. Systemic administration of alpha(2)-adrenoceptor agonists and the alpha(1) antagonist increase gripping-generated IEs. Furthermore, adrenergic alpha(2) antagonists...
