Journal ArticleDOI
Patterns of performance degradation and restoration during sleep restriction and subsequent recovery: a sleep dose-response study
Gregory Belenky,Nancy J. Wesensten,David R. Thorne,Maria L. Thomas,Helen C. Sing,Daniel P. Redmond,Michael B. Russo,Thomas J. Balkin +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the brain adapts to chronic sleep restriction and in mild to moderate sleep restriction this adaptation is sufficient to stabilize performance, although at a reduced level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regional cerebral blood flow throughout the sleep-wake cycle. An H2(15)O PET study
Allen R. Braun,Thomas J. Balkin,N J Wesenten,Richard E. Carson,M. Varga,Paul Baldwin,S. Selbie,Gregory Belenky,Peter Herscovitch +8 more
TL;DR: Stages of sleep may be characterized by activation of widespread areas of the brain, including the centrencephalic, paralimbic and unimodal sensory regions, with the specific exclusion of areas which normally participate in the highest order analysis and integration of neural information.

Journal ArticleDOI
Decoupling of the brain's default mode network during deep sleep
Silvina G. Horovitz,Allen R. Braun,Walter Carr,Dante Picchioni,Thomas J. Balkin,Masaki Fukunaga,Jeff H. Duyn +6 more
TL;DR: By performing functional MRI in humans, it is shown that a natural, sleep-induced reduction of consciousness is reflected in altered correlation between DMN network components, most notably a reduced involvement of frontal cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low frequency BOLD fluctuations during resting wakefulness and light sleep: a simultaneous EEG-fMRI study.
Silvina G. Horovitz,Masaki Fukunaga,Jacco A. de Zwart,Peter van Gelderen,Susan C. Fulton,Thomas J. Balkin,Jeff H. Duyn +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that activity in areas such as the default‐mode network and primary sensory cortex, as measured from BOLD fMRI fluctuations, does not require a level of consciousness typical of wakefulness.
