[Electrical activity of layers of isolated cortex during drowsiness and different sleep stages]. 1976

M M Bogoslovskiĭ, and S V Al'bertin

In cats with isolated cerebral cortex, with the aid of electordes indwelled into different cortical layers, first electrographic changes during onset of sleep were shown to occur, as with intact cortex, in the lower layers of the isolated cortex. 3-4 months after the cortex isolation, changes of electrical activity during sleep occured simultaneously in the cortex of both hemispheres. Awakening produced desynchronization of electrical activity in all cortical layers of both hemispheres. Origin of primary electrical activity changes in the lower cortical layers, is discussed.

D002415	Cats	The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.

D002540	Cerebral Cortex	The thin layer of GRAY MATTER on the surface of the CEREBRAL HEMISPHERES that develops from the TELENCEPHALON and folds into gyri and sulci. It reaches its highest development in humans and is responsible for intellectual faculties and higher mental functions.

D002541	Cerebral Decortication	Partial or total removal, ablation, or destruction of the cerebral cortex; may be chemical. It is not used with animals that do not possess a cortex, i.e., it is used only with mammals.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012894	Sleep Stages	Periods of sleep manifested by changes in EEG activity and certain behavioral correlates; they formerly included Stage 1: sleep onset, drowsy sleep; Stage 2: light sleep; Stages 3 and 4: delta sleep, light sleep, deep sleep, telencephalic sleep. In 2007, sleep stages were redefined by The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) as: N1-N2 (sleep onset - light sleep), N3 (SLOW-WAVE SLEEP), and REM SLEEP.

D012895	Sleep, REM	A stage of sleep characterized by rapid movements of the eye and low voltage fast pattern EEG. It is usually associated with dreaming.
