Computational Modeling of Information Propagation during the Sleep–Waking Cycle

open access: yesBiology, 2021
Non-threatening familiar sounds can go unnoticed during sleep despite the fact that they enter our brain by exciting the auditory nerves. Extracellular cortical recordings in the primary auditory cortex of rodents show that an increase in firing rate in ...

Medial Parabrachial Nucleus Is Essential in Controlling Wakefulness in Rats

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Activation of the parabrachial nucleus (PB) in the brainstem induced wakefulness in rats, suggesting which is an important nucleus that controls arousal. However, the sub-regions of PB in regulating sleep-wake cycle is still unclear.

Functional Anatomy of the Sleep-Wakefulness Cycle: Wakefulness [electronic resource] / [PDF]

open access: yes
Wakefulness is a necessary, active and periodic brain state, with a circadian and homeostatic regulation and precisely meshed with other states into the sleep-wakefulness cycle.

Local Aspects of Sleep and Wakefulness [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
It is now well established that sleep and wakefulness are locally regulated. In fact, typical sleep hallmarks, such as slow waves and spindles, display a clear regional modulation based on maturational and experience-dependent brain plasticity.

Microsleep versus Sleep Onset Latency during Maintenance Wakefulness Tests: Which One Is the Best Marker of Sleepiness?

open access: yesClocks & Sleep, 2021
The interpretation of the Maintenance Wakefulness Test (MWT) relies on sleep onset detection. However, microsleeps (MSs), i.e., brief periods of sleep intrusion during wakefulness, may occur before sleep onset.

Ibogaine Acute Administration in Rats Promotes Wakefulness, Long-Lasting REM Sleep Suppression, and a Distinctive Motor Profile

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2018
Ibogaine is a potent psychedelic alkaloid that has been the focus of intense research because of its intriguing anti-addictive properties. According to anecdotic reports, ibogaine has been originally classified as an oneirogenic psychedelic; i.e ...
