The researchers believe the TRN may help the brain consolidate new memories by coordinating
slow waves between different parts of the brain, allowing them to share information more easily.
Not exact matches
It is more likely that one would find changes in the phase relations
between slow waves and intracellular potentials.
The two frequencies alternated every 40 seconds, reminding Laurent of the regular oscillations
between high - frequency REM and
slow -
wave sleep found in mammals and birds.
Inspired by a 2012 paper that proposed a correlation
between such hotspots and the velocity of seismic
waves moving through Earth's interior, UC Santa Barbara geochemist Matthew Jackson teamed with the authors of the original paper — Thorsten Becker of the University of Texas at Austin and Jasper Konter of the University of Hawaii — to show that only the hottest hotspots with the
slowest wave velocity draw from the primitive reservoir formed early in the planet's history.
The findings suggest a link
between the
slowing of movement and greater beta
wave activity seen in people with Parkinson's.
Slow -
wave sleep (SWS) is characterized by synchronized neural activity alternating
between active upstates and quiet downstates.
Green and Arduini described an inverse relationship
between hippocampal and cortical activity patterns, with hippocampal rhythmicity occurring alongside desynchronized activity in the cortex, whereas an irregular hippocampal activity pattern was correlated with the appearance of large
slow waves in the cortical EEG.
There is also a distinction
between sleep states: REM (dreaming) sleep is associated with theta;
slow -
wave sleep is associated with LIA.
Nearly half of the day's secretion of HGH occurs during deep,
slow -
wave sleep with the biggest burst coming
between 11:30 pm and midnight.
Dreamless sleep (NREM)--
Slow -
wave sleep that is synchronous and predictable and sweeps from the front to back of the brain, encouraging collaboration
between distant regions of the brain.
Friction
between the ocean floor and the water causes the
waves to
slow down.
Rossby
waves, or planetary
waves are huge,
slow waves generated in the troposphere by temperature differences
between the ocean and the continents.
