Thalamic control of cortical states by Poulet, James F A, Fernandez, Laura M J, Crochet, Sylvain, Petersen, Carl C H

“…Cortical states regulate behavior, but the network mechanisms underlying cortical states are unknown. Here the authors show that the desynchronized cortical…”

Noradrenergic circuit control of non-REM sleep substates by Osorio-Forero, Alejandro, Cardis, Romain, Vantomme, Gil, Guillaume-Gentil, Aurélie, Katsioudi, Georgia, Devenoges, Christiane, Fernandez, Laura M.J., Lüthi, Anita

“…To understand what makes sleep vulnerable in disease, it is useful to look at how wake-promoting mechanisms affect healthy sleep. Wake-promoting neuronal…”

Regulation of Local Sleep by the Thalamic Reticular Nucleus by Vantomme, Gil, Osorio-Forero, Alejandro, Lüthi, Anita, Fernandez, Laura M J

“…In spite of the uniform appearance of sleep as a behavior, the sleeping brain does not produce electrical activities in unison. Different types of brain…”

Thalamic reticular control of local sleep in mouse sensory cortex by Fernandez, Laura Mj, Vantomme, Gil, Osorio-Forero, Alejandro, Cardis, Romain, Béard, Elidie, Lüthi, Anita

“…Sleep affects brain activity globally, but many cortical sleep waves are spatially confined. Local rhythms serve cortical area-specific sleep needs and…”

Highly Dynamic Spatiotemporal Organization of Low-Frequency Activities During Behavioral States in the Mouse Cerebral Cortex by Fernandez, Laura M J, Comte, Jean-Christophe, Le Merre, Pierre, Lin, Jian-Sheng, Salin, Paul-A, Crochet, Sylvain

“…Although low-frequency (LF < 10 Hz) activities have been considered as a hallmark of nonrapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, several studies have recently reported…”

Cortical afferents onto the nucleus Reticularis thalami promote plasticity of low-threshold excitability through GluN2C-NMDARs by Fernandez, Laura M. J., Pellegrini, Chiara, Vantomme, Gil, Béard, Elidie, Lüthi, Anita, Astori, Simone

“…Thalamus and cortex represent a highly integrated processing unit that elaborates sensory representations. Interposed between cortex and thalamus, the nucleus…”

Coordinated infraslow neural and cardiac oscillations mark fragility and offline periods in mammalian sleep by Lecci, Sandro, Fernandez, Laura M J, Weber, Frederik D, Cardis, Romain, Chatton, Jean-Yves, Born, Jan, Lüthi, Anita

“…Rodents sleep in bouts lasting minutes; humans sleep for hours. What are the universal needs served by sleep given such variability? In sleeping mice and…”

Cortico-autonomic local arousals and heightened somatosensory arousability during NREMS of mice in neuropathic pain by Cardis, Romain, Lecci, Sandro, Fernandez, Laura MJ, Osorio-Forero, Alejandro, Chu Sin Chung, Paul, Fulda, Stephany, Decosterd, Isabelle, Lüthi, Anita

“…Frequent nightly arousals typical for sleep disorders cause daytime fatigue and present health risks. As such arousals are often short, partial, or occur…”

Quantifying Infra-slow Dynamics of Spectral Power and Heart Rate in Sleeping Mice by Fernandez, Laura M J, Lecci, Sandro, Cardis, Romain, Vantomme, Gil, Béard, Elidie, Lüthi, Anita

“…Three vigilance states dominate mammalian life: wakefulness, non-rapid eye movement (non-REM) sleep, and REM sleep. As more neural correlates of behavior are…”
