Notes by user Kimberley Whitehead (Univ. College London) for What is Sleep?

Post-meeting Reflection

1+ paragraphs on any combination of the following:

  • Presentation highlights
  • Open questions that came up
  • How your perspective changed
  • Impact on your own work
  • e.g. the discussion on [A] that we are having reminds me of [B] conference/[C] initiative/[D] funding call-for-proposal/[E] research group

Common principles of sleep-related oscillations that subserve some form of 'learning' e.g. bursting on a background of neural quiescence - very interested by Susan's reference to the Aston-Jones 1981 paper that shows attenuation immediately prior to firing as if to 'boost' the effect of the firing

Reference material notes

Some examples:

  • Here is [A] database on [B] that I pull data from to do [C] analysis that might be of interest to this group (insert link).
  • Here is a free tool for calculating [ABC] (insert link)
  • This painting/sculpture/forms of artwork is emblematic to our discussion on [X]!
  • Schwartz et al. 2017 offers a review on [ABC] migration as relate to climatic factors (add the reference as well).

Parkes 1992 "Fetal behavioural states: Sleep and wakefulness?" offers a review of the human and sheep fetal literature which casts doubt on whether this is any clear wakefulness in utero. (I was unable to add the reference to the 'reference' section).

Workman et al. 2013 (uploaded) is a nice approach to rigorously comparing development in species - which helps with thinking about ontogeny and phylogeny.

I thought of Baud et al. 2018 (uploaded) after talking to Alex about his research: I wonder if the seizures in this cohort unmasked a multi-day cycle which we all follow?

None of us mentioned the EEG 'cyclic alternating pattern' of sleep until I briefly raised on final day, but I like it as a framework which can encompass various specific graphoelements, e.g. K complexes, ripples, I have attached a paper by Halasz which interprets K complexes with reference to the cyclic alternating pattern.
