The slow oscillation in cortical and thalamic networks: mechanisms and functions

GT Neske - Frontiers in neural circuits, 2016 - frontiersin.org
During even the most quiescent behavioral periods, the cortex and thalamus express rich
spontaneous activity in the form of slow (< 1 Hz), synchronous network state transitions …

Cortical astrocytes independently regulate sleep depth and duration via separate GPCR pathways

TV Vaidyanathan, M Collard, S Yokoyama… - Elife, 2021 - elifesciences.org
Non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, characterized by slow-wave electrophysiological
activity, underlies several critical functions, including learning and memory. However, NREM …

Thalamic dual control of sleep and wakefulness

TC Gent, M Bandarabadi, CG Herrera… - Nature …, 2018 - nature.com
Abstract Slow waves (0.5–4 Hz) predominate in the cortical electroencephalogram during
non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep in mammals. They reflect the synchronization of …

A Mitra, A Kraft, P Wright, B Acland, AZ Snyder… - Neuron, 2018 - cell.com
Systems-level organization in spontaneous infra-slow (< 0.1 Hz) brain activity, measured
using blood oxygen signals in fMRI and optical imaging, has become a major theme in the …

The claustrum coordinates cortical slow-wave activity

K Narikiyo, R Mizuguchi, A Ajima, M Shiozaki… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
During sleep and awake rest, the neocortex generates large-scale slow-wave (SW) activity.
Here, we report that the claustrum coordinates neocortical SW generation. We established a …

Transient neuronal coactivations embedded in globally propagating waves underlie resting-state functional connectivity

T Matsui, T Murakami, K Ohki - Proceedings of the National …, 2016 - National Acad Sciences
Resting-state functional connectivity (FC), which measures the correlation of spontaneous
hemodynamic signals (HemoS) between brain areas, is widely used to study brain networks …

Diversity of cortical activity changes beyond depression during spreading depolarizations

A Nasretdinov, D Vinokurova, CL Lemale… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
Spreading depolarizations (SDs) are classically thought to be associated with spreading
depression of cortical activity. Here, we found that SDs in patients with subarachnoid …

Rescue of long-range circuit dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease models

MA Busche, M Kekuš, H Adelsberger, T Noda… - Nature …, 2015 - nature.com
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is associated with defects of synaptic connectivity. Such defects
may not be restricted to local neuronal interactions but may extend to long-range brain …

Lag threads organize the brain's intrinsic activity

A Mitra, AZ Snyder, T Blazey… - Proceedings of the …, 2015 - National Acad Sciences
It has been widely reported that intrinsic brain activity, in a variety of animals including
humans, is spatiotemporally structured. Specifically, propagated slow activity has been …
