Comment on "The human K-complex represents an isolated cortical down-state".
Cash et al. (Reports, 22 May 2009, p. 1084) argue that the human K-complex, a defining characteristic of slow-wave sleep, is a unipolar electroencephalogram (EEG) wave reflecting a simple neuronal hyperpolarizing event. We disagree with this conclusion and point to several confounding aspects of the study.
متن کاملTop-Down Control of Cortical State
Sensory cortices receive inputs not only from thalamus but also from higher-order cortical regions. Here, Zagha et al. (2013) show that motor cortical inputs can switch barrel cortex into a desynchronized state that enables more faithful representation of subtle sensory stimuli.
متن کاملHuman Orbitofrontal Cortex Represents a Cognitive Map of State Space
Although the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) has been studied intensely for decades, its precise functions have remained elusive. We recently hypothesized that the OFC contains a "cognitive map" of task space in which the current state of the task is represented, and this representation is especially critical for behavior when states are unobservable from sensory input. To test this idea, we apply p...
متن کاملMONOPHASIC STATE OF INSULIN SECRETION IN ISOLATED RAT ISLETS OF LANGERHANS BY K+, Ca2+ AND GLUCOSE
Isolation of rat islets of Langerhans was carried out by using collagenase and the destruction of exocrine tissue was performed through the injection of Hanks' solution into the common bile duct. The identification of the islets was done by techniques including the use of a stereomicroscope against a black background. Vital staining was done by an injection of neutral red solution through t...
متن کاملK-Complex Detection Based on Synchrosqueezing Transform
K-complex is an underlying pattern in the sleep EEG. Due to the role of sleep studies inneurophysiologic and cognitive disorders diagnosis, reliable methods for analysis and detection of this patternare of great importance. In our previous work, Synchrosqueezing Transform (SST) was proposed for analysisof this pattern. SST is an EMD-like tool, which benefits from wavelet transform and reallocat...
