Neuroscience: State-sanctioned synchrony
Scott J. Cruikshank1 & Barry W. Connors1
Abstract
A sleepy brain pays little attention to its surroundings, and its neurons are lulled by a common oscillation. As the brain swiftly rouses from this sluggish state, its neurons function more independently.
You know the experience. One moment you are drowsy and unfocused, awake but oblivious to your environment.
- Scott J. Cruikshank and Barry W. Connors are in the Department of Neuroscience, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island 02912, USA.
