Phase transitions in single neurons and neural populations: Critical slowing, anesthesia, and sleep cycles [PDF]
The firing of an action potential by a biological neuron represents a dramatic transition from small-scale linear stochastics (subthreshold voltage fluctuations) to gross-scale nonlinear dynamics (birth of a 1-ms voltage spike). In populations of neurons

Differential Effects of Psychological and Physical Stress on the Sleep Pattern in Rats [PDF]
In the present study, we investigated the acute effects of 2 different kinds of stress, namely physical stress (foot shock) and psychological stress (non-foot shock) induced by the communication box method, on the sleep patterns of rats.

Medication overuse headache, addiction and personality pathology: a controlled study by SWAP-200 [PDF]
Background: Medication Overuse Headache (MOH) is a type of chronic headache, whose mechanisms are still unknown. Some empirical investigations examining the addiction-like behaviors and processes, as well as personality characteristics underlying MOH ...

Autonomic pain responses during sleep: a study of heart rate variability [PDF]
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) reacts to nociceptive stimulation during sleep, but whether this reaction is contingent to cortical arousal, and whether one of the autonomic arms (sympathetic/parasympathetic) predominates over the other remains ...

A continuum model for the dynamics of the phase transition from slow-wave sleep to REM sleep [PDF]
Previous studies have shown that activated cortical states (awake and rapid eye-movement (REM) sleep), are associated with increased cholinergic input into the cerebral cortex.

The sleep-wakefulness cycle of Wistar rats with spontaneous absence-like epilepsy
Possible interactions between the sleep-wakefulness cycle and a new kind of spontaneous epilepsy, expressed as absence-like seizures and spike-wave bursts in FMUSP rats, are evaluated.

Living absence:the strange geographies of missing people [PDF]
In this paper ‘missing people’ gain an unstable presence through their (restaged) testimonies recounting individual occupations of material urban public space during the lived practice of absence.

The involvement of noradrenaline in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep mentation
Noradrenaline, one of the main brain monoamines, has powerful central influences on neurobiological processes in the forebrain which support the mental activities occurring during the sleep–waking cycle. Noradrenergic neurons are activated during waking,
