Effects of skilled training on sleep slow wave activity and cortical gene expression in the rat.

STUDY OBJECTIVE: The best characterized marker of sleep homeostasis is the amount of slow wave activity (SWA, 0.5-4 Hz) during NREM sleep. SWA increases as a function of previous waking time and declines during sleep, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We have suggested that SWA homeostas...
