1. Figure 2— Cntnap2 knockout (KO) rats exhibit seizures
Figure 2— Cntnap2 knockout (KO) rats exhibit seizures. (A) Representative example of seizures with electroencephalogram (EEG), electromyogram (EMG), and spectrogram corresponding to the EEG. The spectrogram was calculated using a 1-s Hanning window with 95% overlap and was normalized to the average spectral power for wakefulness (artifact/seizure-free periods) from a 24-hr EEG recording. Boxes denote recording periods plotted at an expanded time base below, demonstrating the variability of the waveforms during the seizure and post-ictal periods. (B) Average number of events during four 24-hr baseline (BL) recordings at either three or four months of age in KO rats (3 mo: n = 7; 4 mo: n = 4), and a 4-hr sleep deprivation (SDep) experiment followed by a 20-hr post-SDep recovery period at 3 months. BL recordings were conducted under undisturbed conditions. Individual colored symbols represent total events for each animal. “^” refers to 2 KO rats that died and 1 that lost its EEG signal before the recordings at 4 months of age. Values are means ± standard error of the mean (SEM).

Figure 3— Cntnap2 knockout (KO) mice exhibit seizure-like events. Examples of spike-like activity during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep (A) with electroencephalogram (EEG), electromyogram (EMG), and spectrogram corresponding to the EEG. The spectrogram was calculated using a 1-s Hanning window with 95% overlap and was normalized to the average spectral power for wakefulness (artifact/seizure-free periods) from a 24-hr EEG recording. (B) Average number of events observed during 24-hr recordings of wild-type (WT) and KO mice conducted at 4 and 8 months of age. Small circles represent individual animals to show the variability in seizure number. (C) Mean number of events plotted across the 24-hr period. (D) Distribution of events occurring in each vigilance state. Two states separated by a dash represent transitions between states. Values plotted as means ± standard error of the mean (SEM; n = 9–11/genotype). *p < .05, **p < .01. W, wake.
