Nrxn1

Nrxn1 Knock-out

Longitudinal study monitoring the progression of any electrophysiological phenotype related to sensory processing in the Nrxn1α knock-out model. The study contains two data sets (raw):

• Charaterization (folder: charact) contains: 4-hour recordings at 10 weeks and 22 weeks, VEP and AEP at 10, 14, 18 and 22 weeks of age.
• Arbaclofen (folder: arbaclofen) contains: 24-hour recordings at 8 weeks and 22 weeks, cross-over study VEP and AEP with 2 mg/kg arbaclofen at 8 weeks and 22 weeks.

File types

The recordings were made in TainiLive. The recording files are of the .edf+ type, meta data is provided as .yaml files and screenshots of the recording logs are available containing the exact transmitter frequency of each recording. The 24-hour recordings contain data from motion sensors recorded with Spike2 (CED) as .smrx format.

Characterization

Electrode configuration

Electrodes implanted bilaterally over visual (AP -4, ML +- 2.5) (ch 3 & 14) and auditory cortices (AP -2.5, ML +- 3.5) (ch 4 & 12) and unilaterally over PFC (AP 2.58 ML -1.57) (ch13). Two EMGs in neck muscles (ch 8 & 11) and reference over the cerebellum.

Recording specifications

Due to software updates during the study the sampling frequency is not the same in all recordings

• Sampling frequency: 19525 Hz
• Low-pass filter: 9700 Hz
• High-pass filter: 0.35 Hz

A few files were recorded with the sampling frequency: 2789.3 Hz

• VEP 3: 55970, 55971, 55963, 55964

Arbaclofen study

Longitudinal study of how acute administration of arbaclofen affect the Nrxn1α knock-out model. Arbaclofen (2 mg/kg) i saline was administered in a cross-over design at 8 weeks and 22 weeks of age.

The data includes a dose adjustment pilot (folder: VEP/additional/dose-response) with doses 3 mg/kg and 4 mg/kg and VEP gating at 30 weeks (folder: VEP/additional/aging).

Electrode configurations

Electrode configuration was the same as above for most of the animals, but for animals: 74979,74980,74981,74983,75023 The electrode configuration was as follows:

Electrodes implanted bilaterally over visual (AP -4, ML +- 2.5) (ch 14 & 4) and auditory cortices (AP -2.5, ML +- 3.5) (ch 13 & 5) and unilaterally over PFC (AP 2.58 ML -1.57) (ch 3). Two EMGs in neck muscles (ch 8 & 11) and ref over the cerebellum.
