Resting Our Cortices by Going DOWN to Sleep NEURON Mignot, E., Huguenard, J. R. 2009; 63 (6): 719-721

Abstract

In this issue of Neuron, Vyazovskiy et al. reports on progressive changes in cortical unit activity within extended wakefulness and within extended sleep paralleling changes in EEG slow-wave sleep activity. Sleep debt may be integrated at the level of individual cortical neurons, providing support for the synaptic homeostasis theory.
