Journal ArticleDOI

Stability, Precision, and Near-24-Hour Period of the Human Circadian Pacemaker

TL;DR: In this article, the intrinsic period of the human circadian pacemaker averages 24.18 hours in both age groups, with a tight distribution consistent with other species, with important implications for understanding the pathophysiology of disrupted sleep in older people.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sensitivity of the human circadian pacemaker to nocturnal light: melatonin phase resetting and suppression

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that humans are highly responsive to the phase‐delaying effects of light during the early biological night and that both the phase resetting response to light and the acute suppressive effect of light on plasma melatonin follow a logistic dose‐response curve, as do many circadian responses to light in mammals.
Journal ArticleDOI

A point process framework for relating neural spiking activity to spiking history, neural ensemble, and extrinsic covariate effects.

TL;DR: A statistical framework based on the point process likelihood function to relate a neuron's spiking probability to three typical covariates: the neuron's own spiking history, concurrent ensemble activity, and extrinsic covariates such as stimuli or behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI

General anesthesia, sleep, and coma

TL;DR: This review discusses the clinical and neurophysiological features of general anesthesia and their relationships to sleep and coma, focusing on the neural mechanisms of unconsciousness induced by selected intravenous anesthetic drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiple neural spike train data analysis: state-of-the-art and future challenges.

TL;DR: Statistical methods for the analysis of multiple neural spike-train data are reviewed and future challenges for methodology research are discussed.
