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.

Until now, most sleep research has focused on global control of sleep, which occurs when the entire brain is awash in slow waves — oscillations of brain activity created when sets of neurons are silenced for brief periods.

However, recent studies have shown that sleep - deprived animals can exhibit slow waves in parts of their brain while they are still awake, suggesting that the brain can also control alertness at a local level.

«During sleep, maybe specific brain regions have slow waves at the same time because they need to exchange information with each other, whereas other ones don't,» says Laura Lewis, a research affiliate in MIT's Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences and one of the lead authors of the new study, which appears in the journal eLife.

The researchers believe the TRN fine - tunes the brain's control over local brain regions, enhancing or reducing slow waves in certain regions so those areas can communicate with each other, or inducing some areas to become less alert when the brain is very drowsy.

«We also found that when you induce these slow waves across the cortex, animals start to behaviorally act like they're drowsy.

And while past studies had shown that disrupting slow wave sleep results in diminished growth hormone secretion, acoustic stimulation did not have the reverse effect.

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.

Last year, French startup Rythm began selling headsets that promise to monitor brain waves and deliver sounds that strengthen wearers» slow wave sleep.

A K - complex looks similar to a single slow wave, a similarity that inspired multiple sleep labs to see if the one could be used to induce the other.

By giving the brain a series of nudges — in other words, by triggering K - complexes — could they strengthen the waves into a pattern that mimicked slow wave sleep?

Numerous sleep researchers noticed the similarity of the K - complex to other brain waves, namely those that the brain produces during its most restful periods — slow wave sleep.

In the third section of his talk (around 30 minute mark), Dr. McConnell discusses an experiment they are working on that uses EEG to monitor sleep, and according to their protocol, turn on a TES device (tACS - like) in order to induce slow wave EEG activity.
