Refining Detection of Subclinical Epileptiform Activity in Alzheimer's Disease: A Case-Control Study and Call for a Consensus

Objective: Sleep-predominant network hyperexcitability is increasingly recognized as a potential disease-accelerating comorbidity in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, its prevalence and risk-factors ...

Bidirectional modulation of sleep and wakefulness via prefrontal cortical chemogenetics

The drive to sleep is inescapable but its biological substrate remains largely elusive. Until recently, the search for sleep centres in the mammalian brain focussed on subcortical neurons that promote...

💤The 75µV threshold for scoring N3 sleep may not be a one-size-fits-all criterion, as age- and sex-related changes of slow wave amplitude may create bias, suggests a study by @shaun2406.bsky.social & Prof L Tarassenko from @oxengsci.bsky.social, and Prof S Kyle & @ Dr R Sharman from our team.🧵1/3

Is it time to revisit the scoring of Slow Wave (N3) Sleep?

Abstract. The use of a fixed electroencephalogram (EEG) amplitude threshold of 75 µV for labelling slow waves is a subject of ongoing discussion given EEG
