The ontogeny of heart period patterning in the rat
Abstract
Heart period, heart period variability, and respiration frequency were observed and compared longitudinally in rats from birth to 24 days of age. In addition, V, a quantification of respiratory sinus arrhythmia derived via spectral analysis of the heart period pattern, was observed. It was hypothesized that these heart period parameters would be differentially sensitive to the neural control of the heart and would, therefore, reflect different developmental patterns. Heart period and heart period variability indicated developmental patterns consistent with the literature. The ontogeny of V suggests that it may represent the developmental pattern of tonic vagal influences on the heart.

In rat pups, RSA increases with maturation from negligible at birth to adult levels by day 20.
“Their study documented a maturational trajectory of increased RSA. At birth and during the first few days of life, postpartum RSA was negligible, although by day 20 it had reached the level of adult rats.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
