Sleep homeostasis and cortical synchronization: II. A local field potential study of sleep slow waves in the rat.
STUDY OBJECTIVE: Sleep slow-wave activity (SWA, EEG power between 0.5 and 4.0 Hz) decreases homeostatically in the course of non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREM) sleep. According to a recent hypothesis, the homeostatic decrease of sleep SWA is due to a progressive decrease in the strength of cortico...
