The sleeping brain as a complex system.
'Complexity science' is a rapidly developing research direction with applications in a multitude of fields that study complex systems consisting of a number of nonlinear elements with interesting dynamics and mutual interactions. This Theme Issue 'The complexity of sleep' aims at fostering the application of complexity science to sleep research, because the brain in its different sleep stages a...
متن کاملThe Brain as a Complex System: Using Network Science as a Tool for Understanding the Brain
Although graph theory has been around since the 18th century, the field of network science is more recent and continues to gain popularity, particularly in the field of neuroimaging. The field was propelled forward when Watts and Strogatz introduced their small-world network model, which described a network that provided regional specialization with efficient global information transfer. This m...
متن کاملThe Sleeping Brain
The role of sleep has long baffled scientists, but the latest research is providing new indicators about what it does for both the brain and body. While scientists believe that sleep re-energizes the body's cells, clears waste from the brain, and supports learning and memory, much still needs to be learned about the part it plays in regulating mood, appetite and libido.

متن کاملNeuroimaging and the Sleeping Brain
A Glial Investment of other mechanisms may be involved. The authors demonstrate that Fray is expressed by the ensheathing glia and that the mutant phenotype could be rescued by targeted expression of fray under the control of a glial promoter. These results indicate The association of neurons and nerve fibers with glial the ensheathment defect is glial cell autonomous. Fray cells is nearly ubiq...
متن کاملThe sleeping brain as a dynamical system - insights from time series analysis of the human sleep EEG
The human sleep EEG is studied using a dynamical system approach to the sleeping brain. The dynamics of the sleeping brain is governed by multiple time scales: ranging from the typical EEG oscillations at 1 − 30 Hz up to the ≈ 24h circadian rhythm. Starting point is the fastest time scale the sleep oscillations. They are described by modeling the EEG using adaptive linear models. The slower dyn...
