Pontine waves accompanied by short hippocampal sharp wave-ripples during non-rapid eye movement sleep
Joint press release by Hokkaido University and Tohoku University (in Japanese)
Abstract
Ponto-geniculo-occipital (PGO) or pontine (P) waves have long been recognized as an electrophysiological signature of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. However, P-waves can be observed not just during REM sleep, but also during non-REM (NREM) sleep. Recent studies have uncovered that P-waves are functionally coupled with hippocampal sharp wave-ripples (SWRs) during NREM sleep. However, it remains unclear to what extent P-waves during NREM sleep share their characteristics with P-waves during REM sleep and how the functional coupling to P-waves modulates SWRs. Here, we address these issues by ……
