Functional connectivity between motor cortex and globus pallidus in human non-REM sleep.

Abstract

Recent evidence suggests that the motor system undergoes very specific modulation in its functional state during the different sleep stages. Here we test the hypothesis that changes in the functional organization of the motor system involve both cortical and subcortical levels and that these distributed changes are interrelated in defined frequency bands. To this end we evaluated functional connectivity between motor and non-motor cortical sites (fronto-central, parieto-occipital) and the globus pallidus (GP) in human non-REM sleep in seven patients undergoing deep brain stimulation (DBS) for dystonia using a variety of spectral measures (power, coherence, partial coherence and directed transfer function (DTF)). We found significant coherence between GP and fronto-central cortex as well as between GP and parieto-occipital cortex in circumscribed frequency bands that correlated with sleep specific oscillations in 'light sleep' (N2) and 'slow-wave sleep' (N3). These sleep specific oscillations were also reflected in significant coherence between the two cortical sites corroborating previous studies. Importantly, we found two different physiological activities represented within the broad band of significant coherence between 9.5 ...Continue Reading
