Sleep homeostasis is a complex neurobiologic phenomenon involving a number of
molecular pathways, neurotransmitter release, synaptic activity, and factors modulating …

The human electroencephalogram (EEG) during non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREM) is
characterized mainly by high-amplitude (> 75 μV), slow-frequency (< 4 Hz) waves (slow …

Abstract Slow waves (SW;< 4 Hz and> 75 μV) during non‐rapid eye movement (NREM)
sleep in humans are characterized by hyperpolarization [surface electroencephalogram …

Previously, modulations in power of neuronal oscillations have been functionally linked to
sensory, motor and cognitive operations. Such links are commonly established by relating …

Study Objectives: Few studies have objectively evaluated sleep characteristics during
pregnancy or investigated the relationship between altered spectral electroencephalogram …

Aging is a multifactorial process likely stemming from damage accumulation and/or a
decline in maintenance and repair mechanisms in the organisms that eventually determine …

In this paper we reviewed results of sleep research that have changed the views about sleep
slow wave homeostasis, which involve use-dependent and experience-dependent local …

The regularity of electroencephalogram signals was compared between middle-aged
(47.2±2.0 years) and elderly (78.4±3.8 years) female subjects in wake, nonrapid eye …

Objectives: A changing sleep schedule that reduces sleep duration is thought to produce the
increasing daytime sleepiness of adolescents. We tested the hypothesis that adolescent …

Abstract Study Objectives: Slow wave EEG activity in NREM sleep decreases by more than
60% between ages 10 and 20 years. Slow wave EEG activity also declines across NREM …
