Thesis
Investigating the spatiotemporal dynamics and functional role of sleep oscillations using auditory stimulation and transgenic approaches
- Abstract:
-
Sleep is a fundamental process that appears to be ubiquitous across the animal kingdom. Significant resources are therefore directed towards understanding its underlying neurophysiology and its functional role. Mammals exhibit two kinds of sleep, NREM and REM sleep, which are primarily distinguished by specific patterns of brain activity. During NREM sleep, cortical activity is dominated by slow waves and sleep spindles. While slow-wave activity has been strongly linked with sleep homeostasis...
