Necessity of the sleep–wake cycle for synaptic homeostasis: system-level analysis of plasticity in the corticothalamic system

Neural field theory is used to study the system-level effects of plasticity in the corticothalamic system, where arousal states are represented parametrically by the connection strengths of the system, among other physiologically based parameters. It is found that the plasticity dynamics have no fix...
