EEG and Single-Cell Activity

Description
These recordings show cortical EEG and multiunit cell activity during slow-wave sleep of a rat. The top of the figure shows several slow oscillations. During the descending phase of the slow oscillation (down state, indicated in red), the neurons are hyperpolarized and do not fire. During the ascending phase (up state, indicated in green), the neurons fire. (From Vyazovskiy, V. V., Olcese, U., Lazimy, Y. M., et al. Neuron, 2009, 63, 865–878. Reprinted with permission.)
