Background Although the induction of behavioural unconsciousness during sleep and general
anaesthesia has been shown to involve overlapping brain mechanisms, sleep involves …

Various subsets of brain neurons express a hyperpolarization-activated inward current (I h )
that has been shown to be instrumental in pacing oscillatory activity at both a single-cell and …

Data from perinatal and juvenile rodents support our hypothesis that the preBötzinger complex
generates inspiratory rhythm and the retrotrapezoid nucleus–parafacial respiratory group …

State-dependent EEG in the hippocampus (HPC) has traditionally been divided into two
activity patterns: theta, a large-amplitude, regular oscillation with a bandwidth of 3–12 Hz, and …

Oscillatory activity is a principal mode of operation in the brain. Despite an intense resurgence
of interest in the mechanisms and functions of brain rhythms, methods for the detection …

A multicompartmental biophysical model of entorhinal cortex layer II stellate cells was developed
to analyze the ionic basis of physiological properties, such as subthreshold membrane …

… Competing interests: In the interest of full disclosure of any potential perceived competing
interests we would like to declare that author Clayton T. Dickson is a PLoS ONE editorial board …

Key points The ventilatory response to reduced oxygen (hypoxia) is biphasic, comprising an
initial increase in ventilation followed by a secondary depression. Our findings indicate that, …

1. Single-unit discharge patterns of cells in specific nuclei of the caudal diencephalon were
characterized in relation to simultaneously recorded field activity from the stratum moleculare …

Respiratory activity is most fragile during sleep, in particular during paradoxical [or rapid
eye movement (REM)] sleep and sleep state transitions. Rats are commonly used to study …
