Neuroscience: State-Sanctioned Synchrony, Nature
 









Excerpts: 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. (...)
Poulet and Petersen found that these subthreshold fluctuations are highly
correlated among cortical cells during quiet wakefulness and relatively
desynchronized during whisking.
