...(B, B0, and B00) Electrophysiological analysis of cortical evoked responses using electrical stimulation (in rats, from Vyazovskiy et al., 2008) and TMS (in humans, from Huber et al., 2013) shows increased slope after wake and decreased slope after sleep....

...Similarly, in humans, the slope of the early response evoked in frontal cortex by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) increases progressively in the course of 18 hr of continuous wake and returns to baseline levels after one night of recovery sleep (Huber et al., 2013) (Figure 3B0)....

...Sleep deprivation is of particular relevance, as studies using TMS in combination with EEG have reported increases in cortical excitability measures with sleep deprivation even in normal healthy subjects (Huber et al., 2013; Kuhn et al., 2016), although sleep deprivation was also associated with a decreased long-term potentiation (LTP)like plasticity in response to a paired-associative stimulation protocol (Kuhn et al....

...For example, they define tES dosage in terms of the parameters of the electrodes, including the size, number, shape, position and composition, as well as the waveform in terms of intensity and the general form of the waves administered, the pulse shape (wherever relevant), amplitude, width,…...

...Moreover, with more time staying awake, especially after sleep deprivation, motor cortical excitability gradually increases along with an increase in EEG θ waves, which is commonly observed with prolonged wakefulness (Huber et al., 2013)....

...Accordingly, in vivo long-term potentiation (LTP)-inducing procedures increase LFP amplitude and slope (Bliss and Lomo 1973), whereas long-term depression (LTD) procedures reduce it (Kirkwood et al....

...In the present work, we assessed the excitability of human cortical circuits by an approach that is closer to the one employed in the animal model, where the amplitude and the slope of the early LFP response to cortical stimulation is measured (Bliss and Lomo 1973; Vyazovskiy et al. 2008)....
