Objectives: We hypothesized that the brain shows specific and predictable patterns of spatial and temporal differences during sleep onset (SO) reflecting a temporal uncoupling of electrical activity between different cortical regions and a dissociated wakelike and sleeplike electrocortical activity in different cortical areas. Methods: We...

The recent spread of intracranial electroencephalographic (EEG) recording techniques for presurgical evaluation of drug-resistant epileptic patients is providing new information on the activity of different brain structures during both wakefulness and sleep. The interest has been mainly focused on the medial temporal lobe, and in particular the...
