This study examines the infraslow fluctuation of sigma power during sleep across development, finding it persists with increasing frequency and strength from childhood to young adulthood.

The paper shows that vagal afferent activation induces brain-body cooling and NREM-sleep-like states while increasing locus coeruleus activity.

This study identifies GABAergic neurons in the hypothalamic preoptic area that regulate REM sleep homeostasis by responding to REM sleep restriction and mediating rebound.

This study shows that LC activity partitions NREM sleep into brain and autonomic states that regulate the NREM-REM cycle, with high activity enabling microarousals and low activity required for REMS entries.

The paper examines how acoustic stimulation during sleep affects slow wave synchronization, identifying distinct event types and their responses to stimulation.

The paper shows that noradrenaline fluctuations during non-REM sleep influence sleep spindle clustering and heart rate variations through thalamic circuits.

This study shows that C1q mediates chronic neuron loss and inflammation after brain injury by targeting the corticothalamic circuit in mice.
