2020, Behavioural Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :A successful VNS pairing was considered to be a stimulation that occurred within two seconds after the onset of superior masseter movement exceeding detection threshold, a window that has been shown to be effective for VNS-mediated plasticity after pairing with a motor activity [7]. Within 24 h of their last behavioral session, rats underwent ICMS to derive functional representation maps according to standard procedures [16,17,20–23]. Rats were anesthetized by intraperitoneal injections of ketamine hydrochloride (75 mg/kg) and xylazine (5 mg/kg) and received supplemental doses of ketamine (25 mg/kg) and xylazine (1.5 mg/kg) as necessary throughout the procedure in order to maintain a consistent level of anesthesia as indicated by breathing rate, vibrissae whisking, and toe pinch reflex.
