A common observation in EEG research is that consciousness vanishes with the
appearance of delta (1–4 Hz) waves, particularly when those waves are high amplitude …

In recent decades, increasing evidence has positioned slow-wave sleep (SWS) as a major
actor in neurophysiological phenomena such as glucose metabolism, hormone release …

Noise—random disturbances of signals—poses a fundamental problem for information
processing and affects all aspects of nervous-system function. However, the nature, amount …

The neocortex generates periods of recurrent activity, such as the slow (0.1–0.5 Hz)
oscillation during slow-wave sleep. Here we demonstrate that slices of ferret neocortex …

Physiological, morphological and immunohistochemical characteristics of non-pyramidal
cells in frontal cortex of young rats were studied in vitro by whole-cell recording and biocytin …

▪ Abstract The highly interconnected networks of the mammalian forebrain can generate a
wide variety of synchronized activities, including those underlying epileptic seizures, which …

The recurrent excitatory and inhibitory connections between and within layers of the cerebral
cortex are fundamental to the operation of local cortical circuits. Models of cortical function …

Slow oscillatory activity (< 1 Hz) is observed in vivo in the cortex during slow-wave sleep or
under anesthesia and in vitro when the bath solution is chosen to more closely mimic …

The highly interconnected local and large-scale networks of the neocortical sheet rapidly
and dynamically modulate their functional connectivity according to behavioral demands …

During natural slow-wave sleep (SWS) in nonanesthetized cats, silent (down) states
alternate with active (up) states; the down states are absent during rapid-eye-movement …
