Sleep is traditionally constituted of two global behavioral states, non-rapid eye movement (NREM)
and rapid eye movement (REM), characterized by quiescence and reduced …

During non-rapid eye-movement (NREM) sleep, cortical and thalamic neurons oscillate every
second or so between ON periods, characterized by membrane depolarization and wake-…

Human morality provides the foundation for many of the pillars of society, informing political
legislation and guiding legal decisions while also governing everyday social interactions. In …

During non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, cortical neurons alternate between ON periods

A possible role of the cerebellum in cognitive function might be revealed through its
anatomical connections with specific regions of the cerebral cortex. To understand the kind of …

Sleep and anesthesia entail alterations in conscious experience. Conscious experience may
be absent (unconsciousness) or take the form of dreaming, a state in which sensory stimuli …

Cortical circuits mature in stages, from early synaptogenesis and synaptic pruning to late
synaptic refinement, resulting in the adult anatomical connection matrix. Because the mature …
