This study identifies prefrontal cortical neurons that regulate both NREM sleep and anesthesia by modulating their activity and connectivity.

The paper investigates auditory processing during sleep using human epilepsy patients' recordings, finding robust neural responses despite reduced alpha-beta power, suggesting impaired top-down processing.

This study shows that propofol anesthesia concentration, not abrupt behavioral changes, linearly degrades auditory cortex responses in rats.

This study investigates how anesthesia-induced loss of consciousness affects auditory processing by analyzing intracranial EEG and single-unit activity in patients, finding that higher-order auditory regions show more disruption than primary auditory cortex.

This study shows that locus-coeruleus norepinephrine activity determines the likelihood of sensory-evoked awakenings from sleep, with reduced activity during sleep suppressing responses to auditory stimuli.

The paper examines how sleep affects neuronal responses to sounds in auditory and perirhinal cortices, finding greater attenuation in perirhinal cortex during NREM and REM sleep.
