Coincident development and synchronization of sleep-dependent delta in the cortex and medulla

|
By Midha Ahmad, Jangjin Kim, Brett E. Dwyer
| Cell Press Verified
In early development, active sleep is the predominant sleep state before it is supplanted by quiet sleep. In rats, the developmental increase in quiet sleep is accompanied by the sudden emergence of the cortical delta rhythm (0.5–4 Hz) around postnatal day 12 (P12). We sought to explain the emergence of the cortical delta by assessing developmental changes in the activity of the parafacial zone (PZ), a medullary structure thought to regulate quiet sleep in adults.

"Cortical Delta" In The Medulla Of Sleeping Infant Rats

|
By Jangjin Kim, Brett E. Dwyer, Greta Sokoloff, Midha Ahmad
| BioRxiv
Abstract In early development when sleep is the most prevalent behavioral state, active (REM) sleep is preeminent before it is supplanted by quiet (non-REM) sleep. In rats, the developmental increase in quiet sleep is accompanied by the sudden emergence of the cortical delta rhythm (0.5-4 Hz) around postnatal day (P) 12.
