Brain activity during sleep is characterized by circuit-specific oscillations, including slow
waves, spindles and theta waves, which are nested in thalamocortical or hippocampal …

During much of sleep, virtually all cortical neurons undergo a slow oscillation (< 1 Hz) in
membrane potential, cycling from a hyperpolarized state of silence to a depolarized state of …

As most afferent axons to the thalamus originate in the cerebral cortex, we assumed that the
slow (< 1 Hz) cortical oscillation described in the two companion articles is reflected in …

Sleep is characterized by synchronized events in billions of synaptically coupled neurons in
thalamocortical systems. The activation of a series of neuromodulatory transmitter systems …

Slow wave sleep (SWS) is associated with spontaneous brain oscillations that are thought to
participate in sleep homeostasis and to support the processing of information related to the …

Spontaneous brain oscillations during states of vigilance are associated with neuronal
plasticity due to rhythmic spike bursts and spike trains fired by thalamic and neocortical …

During sleep, the mammalian brain generates an orderly progression of low frequency
oscillations. The nature of these oscillations changes as the brain moves from sleep onset …

Neuronal circuits between the neocortex, the thalamus, the hippocampus and related
systems underlie the different states of vigilance and various paroxysmal disorders that …

Several network patterns allow for information exchange between the neocortex and the
entorhinal–hippocampal complex, including theta oscillations and sleep spindles. How …

Slow-wave sleep consists in slowly recurring waves that are associated with a large-scale
spatio-temporal synchrony across neocortex. These slow-wave complexes alternate with …
