Changes in Physiological and Pathological Behaviours Produced by Deep Microelectrode Implantation Surgery in Rats: A Temporal Analysis

Figure 2

Analysis of physiological behaviours before and after microelectrode implantation surgery. (a) Line plot showing changes in the physiological behaviours of sham animals over time. The solid line represents the sample mean, and the shadowed region indicates the 95% confidence interval; comparisons between pre- and postsurgery effects in sham animals are shown at the right. (b) As in (a), but for animals in the epileptic group. (c) Differences in the physiological behaviours of the sham and epileptic groups related to surgery. The -test was used for each comparison (, , , and ).
