Bistability breaks-off deterministic responses to intracortical stimulation during non-REM sleep

INTRODUCTION During non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep (stage N3), when consciousness fades, cortico-cortical interactions are impaired while neurons are still active and reactive(Tononi and Massimini, 2008). Why is this? We hypothesized that the same neuronal mechanism that underlies sleep slow w...
