Zusammenfassung
Background: In 1935 Loomis first described „spindles“ on the electroencephalogram (EEG) during human sleep. They are thought to be related to reticular thalamic hyperpolarization and are often associated with K-complexes (KC) which may result from synchronized cortical networks imposing excitatory and inhibitory actions on thalamic and cortical neurons (Amzica 1997; Steriade 2005). Methods: A healthy, eyes-closed resting volunteer was studied with echo planar imaging at 3T (Trio, Siemens, Erlangen, Germany) and simultaneous polysomnography recordings following DGKN guidelines including EEG, EOG, EMG (BrainAmp MR…
