Sleep-like cortical dynamics during wakefulness and their network effects following brain injury
M. Massimini, M. Corbetta, et al.
This paper introduces a novel framework linking classical and recent ideas to show that EEG slow waves after brain injury reflect the intrusion of sleep-like cortical dynamics during wakefulness, explains how these dynamics can disrupt functional networks and behavior, and outlines how modulating post-injury slow waves could reawaken sleeping brain regions to optimize rehabilitation — research conducted by Marcello Massimini, Maurizio Corbetta, Maria V. Sanchez-Vives, Thomas Andrillon, Gustavo Deco, Mario Rosanova, and Simone Sarasso.
