TLDR
The results suggest that the excitability of reflex and corticobulbar-evoked activity in the jaw motor system is depressed during QS, which is significantly lower than during QW.Abstract:
STUDY OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that the reflex and corticobulbar motor excitability of jaw muscles is reduced during sleep. DESIGN Polysomnographic recordings in the electrophysiological study. SETTING University sleep research laboratories. PARTICIPANTS AND INTERVENTIONS The reflex and corticobulbar motor excitability of jaw muscles was determined during the quiet awake state (QW) and quiet sleep (QS) in monkeys (n = 4). MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS During QS sleep, compared to QW periods, both tongue stimulation-evoked jaw-opening reflex peak and root mean square amplitudes were significantly decreased with stimulations at 2-3.5 × thresholds (P < 0.001). The jaw-opening reflex latency during sleep was also significantly longer than during QW. Intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) within the cortical masticatory area induced rhythmic jaw movements at a stable threshold (≤ 60 μA) during QW; but during QS, ICMS failed to induce any rhythmic jaw movements at the maximum ICMS intensity used, although sustained jaw-opening movements were evoked at significantly increased threshold (P < 0.001) in one of the monkeys. Similarly, during QW, ICMS within face primary motor cortex induced orofacial twitches at a stable threshold (≤ 35 μA), but the ICMS thresholds were elevated during QS. Soon after the animal awoke, rhythmic jaw movements and orofacial twitches could be evoked at thresholds similar to those before QS. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that the excitability of reflex and corticobulbar-evoked activity in the jaw motor system is depressed during QS.read more

Motor Cortex Is Functionally Organized as a Set of Spatially Distinct Representations for Complex Movements
TL;DR: A movement- based, rather than a muscle-based, functional organization of motor cortex is indicated, and evidence for a conserved homology of independent grasp and reach circuitry shared between primates and rats is provided.

TL;DR: Cynomolgus monkeys present typical characteristics of sleep architecture and spectral structure as those observed in other mammalian species including humans, validating the use of telemetry in this non‐human primate model for translational sleep studies.

Orofacial Pain and Sleep
TL;DR: Findings indicating that pain, especially when chronic, is commonly associated with disturbed sleep, and that there may exist a circular relationship between them that is reflected in mutual deleterious influences producing further enhancement of both pain and disruption of sleep, suggest that therapeutic approaches need to be targeted at both reducing the pain and improving sleep.

TL;DR: Cynomolgus macaques show sleep characteristics, EEG spectral structure, and respond to CAF in a similar manner to humans, and monitoring EEG/EMG by telemetry in this species may be useful both for basicSleep/wake studies and for pre-clinical assessments of drug-induced effects on sleep/wake.

TL;DR: The fading of consciousness during certain stages of sleep may be related to a breakdown in cortical effective connectivity, as measured by transcranial magnetic stimulation and high-density electroencephalography.

Animal sleep: A review of sleep duration across phylogeny
TL;DR: The present paper examines the literature concerning sleep duration in over 150 animal species, including invertebrates, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and 14 orders of mammals, to evaluate these variables in a wide range of animal species.

Effect of SCN lesions on sleep in squirrel monkeys: evidence for opponent processes in sleep-wake regulation
TL;DR: Findings show that the SCN influence the regulation of daily total wake and sleep times, and implicate an alternative sleep-wake regulatory model in which an SCN-dependent process actively facilitates the initiation and maintenance of wakefulness and opposes homeostatic sleep tendency during the subjective day in diurnal primates.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the production of the rhythm, and of the opener and closer motoneuron bursts, are independent processes that are carried out by different groups of cells.

TL;DR: A mathematical model is discussed which illustrates that the sleep-like states of individual cortical columns can be synchronized through humoral and electrical connections, and that whole-organism sleep occurs as an emergent property of local-network interactions.
