Changes in motor activity during the development of the circadian rhythm in the rat
Abstract
Evolutive aspects of motor activity circadian rhythm have been studied in rats born and reared under LL, from the day of weaning. Motor activity was recorded by means of an optical detecting system that uses crossed infra‐red beams. Data were recorded every 30 min. A graphic method based in smoothing the double plotted chronograms by means of a moving average has been developed. Using this method, a decrease in motor activity is clearly seen while the circadian rhythm is appearing. This fact was confirmed (p<0.0001) by developing a statistical method, that consisted of the calculation of one statistic specially defined to test this hypothesis. Results show that the development of the motor activity rhythm of the rats is composed of three periods: The first one, where the rhythm is basically ultradian; the second one, characterized by a considerable decrease in the daily motor activity; and the third one where motor activity recovers its initial values and the circadian rhythm is well established. This decrease in motor activity could be related with the mechanisms of synchronization amongst the oscillators which drive the motor activity rhythm.

There is a prevalence of ultradian components in the rhythms of young rodents under both entrained and free-running conditions which disappears in the post-weaning and pubertal periods.
“For example, multiple authors have commented that there is a prevalence of ultradian components in the rhythms of young rodents under both entrained and free-running conditions which disappears in the post-weaning and pubertal periods [26, 38, 52, 76, 85, 93].”

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.
