Autonomic pain responses during sleep: a study of heart rate variability [PDF]
, 2011 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 ...

Monosynaptic Functional Connectivity in Cerebral Cortex During Wakefulness and Under Graded Levels of Anesthesia [PDF]
, 2012 The balance between excitation and inhibition is considered to be of significant importance for neural computation and cognitive function. Excitatory and inhibitory functional connectivity in intact cortical neuronal networks in wakefulness and graded ...

REM sleep deprivation during 5 hours leads to an immediate REM sleep rebound and to suppression of non-REM sleep intensity [PDF]
, 1990 Nine healthy male subjects were deprived of REM sleep during the first 5 h after sleep onset. Afterwards recovery sleep was undisturbed. During the deprivation period the non-REM EEG power spectrum was reduced when compared to baseline for the ...

Neuronal avalanches differ from wakefulness to deep sleep - evidence from intracranial depth recordings in humans [PDF]
, 2013 Neuronal activity differs between wakefulness and sleep states. In contrast, an attractor state, called self-organized critical (SOC), was proposed to govern brain dynamics because it allows for optimal information coding.

EEG oscillations during sleep and dream recall. State- or trait-like individual differences? [PDF]
, 2015 Dreaming represents a peculiar form of cognitive activity during sleep. On the basis of the well-known relationship between sleep and memory, there has been a growing interest in the predictive role of human brain activity during sleep on dream recall ...

Effects Of 4-thiazolidinone Derivatives Les-2658 And Les-1205 On Sleep - Wakefulness Cycle In Kindled Rats [PDF]
, 2017 The research is dedicated to in-depth study of neurotrophic and antiepileptic properties of original potential anticonvulsant agents from 4-thiazolidinones – LES-2658 (5-(3-nitro-benzylidene)-2-(thiazol-2-ylimino)-thiazolidin-4-one) and LES-1205 ([2,4 ...

Augmented generation of protein fragments during wakefulness as the molecular cause of sleep: A hypothesis [PDF]
, 2012 Despite extensive understanding of sleep regulation, the molecular-level cause and function of sleep are unknown. I suggest that they originate in individual neurons and stem from increased production of protein fragments during wakefulness.

Hypothalamic GABAergic neurocircuitry in the regulation of energy homeostasis and sleep/wake control
Medical Review, 2022 Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABAergic) neuron, as one of important cell types in synaptic transmission, has been widely involved in central nervous system (CNS) regulation of organismal physiologies including cognition, emotion, arousal and reward. However,

Scale Invariance and Nonlinear Patterns of Human Activity [PDF]
, 2003 We investigate if known extrinsic and intrinsic factors fully account for the complex features observed in recordings of human activity as measured from forearm motion in subjects undergoing their regular daily routine. We demonstrate that the apparently
