They didn’t measure EEG in brain structures outside the cortex; the word “altogether” is highly misleading here. Almost certainly still plenty of neuronal activity happening, otherwise, Funny The Sheep Whisperer Vintage Shirt. The animals would have died. They also didn’t measure single neurons (EEG is a more collective measure), so we don’t know if activity stopped or merely desynchronized.

Dosage in “recreational” drug studies, I feel, are frequently misleading because to do this research, they apply an amount of drug that equates to the experimental equivalent of a sledgehammer, at biologically unattainable levels. I agree that it’s important to study a wide range of dosages, but there is little to no value in studying doses that are not possible/useful in humans. Outside of determining lethality.
