Sleep Promotes, and Sleep Loss Inhibits, Selective Changes in Firing Rate, Response Properties and Functional Connectivity of Primary Visual Cortex Neurons
Recent studies suggest that sleep differentially alters the activity of cortical neurons based on firing rates during preceding wake—increasing the firing rates of sparsely firing neurons and decreasing those of faster firing neurons. Because sparsely firing cortical neurons may play a specialized r...
