Description:
Estivation (shallow torpor) in the round-tailed ground squirrel (Citellus tereticaudus) is entered through electrophysiologically defined states of sleep. Rapid-eye-movement sleep diminishes as body temperature falls in such a way that, at a body temperature of 26 degrees to 28 degrees C, torpor is characterized by almost continuous slow-wave sleep isomorphic with that observed at euthermic body temperatures.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Walker, J M -- Garber, A -- Berger, R J -- Heller, H C -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1979 Jun 8;204(4397):1098-100.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/221974" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
