SART-stressed (repeated cold-stressed) rats, experimental model animals for vagotonic-type dysautonomia, have been reported to show EEG with lower-amplitude fast waves during resting-arousal and higher-amplitude slow waves during slow-wave sleep compared to normal rats. In this report, the effects of certain
