Origin of Active States in Local Neocortical Networks during Slow Sleep Oscillation
Slow-wave sleep is characterized by spontaneous alternations of activity and silence in corticothalamic networks, but the causes of transition from silence to activity remain unknown. We investigated local mechanisms underlying initiation of activity, using simultaneous multisite field potential, multiunit recordings, and intracellular recordings from 2 to 4 nearby neurons in naturally sleeping...
متن کاملDetection of active and silent states in neocortical neurons from the field potential signal during slow-wave sleep.
Oscillations of the local field potentials (LFPs) or electroencephalogram (EEG) at frequencies below 1 Hz are a hallmark of the slow-wave sleep. However, the timing of the underlying cellular events, which is an alternation of active and silent states of thalamocortical network, can be assessed only approximately from the phase of slow waves. Is it possible to detect, using the LFP or EEG, the ...
متن کاملSleep slow oscillation and plasticity
It is well documented that sleep contributes to memory consolidation and it is also accepted that long-term synaptic plasticity plays a critical role in memory formation. The mechanisms of this sleep-dependent memory formation are unclear. Two main hypotheses are proposed. According to the first one, synapses are potentiated during wake; and during sleep they are scaled back to become available...
متن کاملNeocortical inhibitory activities and long-range afferents contribute to the synchronous onset of silent states of the neocortical slow oscillation.
During slow-wave sleep, neurons of the thalamocortical network are engaged in a slow oscillation (<1 Hz), which consists of an alternation between the active and the silent states. Several studies have provided insights on the transition from the silent, which are essentially periods of disfacilitation, to the active states. However, the conditions leading to the synchronous onset of the silent...
متن کاملProperties of slow oscillation during slow-wave sleep and anesthesia in cats.
Deep anesthesia is commonly used as a model of slow-wave sleep (SWS). Ketamine-xylazine anesthesia reproduces the main features of sleep slow oscillation: slow, large-amplitude waves in field potential, which are generated by the alternation of hyperpolarized and depolarized states of cortical neurons. However, direct quantitative comparison of field potential and membrane potential fluctuation...
