Topic: global cross-region oscillations

Sleep quantity and quality change dramatically across the lifespan of altricial mammals born with immature brains such as humans and rodents (Logan 2019, Cirelli 2020, Blumberg 2005, Blumberg 2014). Despite a crucial role for healthy development, we still know quite little about developmental sleep – especially when it comes to architecture and oscillatory dynamics, or to the emergence of global inter-regional brain cross-communication. Current methods to analyse immature sleep fail to provide the resolution needed to characterise its longitudinal microstructure. We designed light-weighted chr
