Dynamic Metabolic Changes in the Human Thalamus at the Transition From Waking to Sleep - Insights From Simultaneous Functional MR Spectroscopy and Polysomnography

An important contribution of the thalamus to the transition from wakefulness to sleep is a consistent finding in animal studies. In humans, only little is currently known about the specific role of the thalamus in regulating wake-sleep transitions. Although changes in thalamic blood flow and activit...
