2 The waves of the EEG gamma > 30 Hz beta: Hz Mental activity: + alpha: 8-13 Hz theta: 4-8 Hz Sleep spindle delta: Hz - K complex 2

3 The waves of the EEG beta: Hz alpha: 8-13 Hz Mental activity: + theta: 4-8 Hz delta: Hz - Electroencephalography eyes open eyes closed 3

4 Characteristics of EEG activity change in different situations, 1. with the level of vigilance: alertness, rest, sleep and dreaming. 2. mental tasks also alter the pattern of the waves in different parts of the brain. 3. electroencephalograms are also used in neurology and psychiatry, to help diagnose diseases of the brain, such as epilepsy, sleep disorders brain tumors. The origin of EEG waves Slow electrical activity of neurons. Summed postsynaptic potentials of parallelly arranged pyramidal cells, 4

11 Evoced potential The topographic study of brain electrical activity was born again only when fast desktop computers became available in the 80s. Thus, EEG brain topography was developed. It is also called Color Brain Mapping. 11

17 Characteristics of sleep: How do we claim that somebody is sleeping? 1. Loss of conscioussness 2. Decrease (or loss ) in muscle tone 3. Change of respiration (rhythmic, slow, superficial) 4. Autonomic signs (blood presure, heart rate) 5. Cortical activity (EEG) 17

Non-REM sleep and REM sleep alternate with a period near 90 min. Slow wave sleep predominates in the first third of the night and is linked to the initiation of sleep, REM sleep predominates in the last third of the. 20

23 Characteristics of dreams: 1. visually dominated 2. irregular 3. irreal 4. bizarre 5. difficult to retrieve 6. periodic 7. emotional Biological role of dreams Freud model: People are driven by aggressive and sexual instincts that are repressed from conscious awareness. While these thoughts are not consciously expressed, they find their way into our awareness via dreams. Hobson concepts (lack of sensory information, PGO waves) 23

27 The posterior hypothalamus (histamin, orexin), the locus coeruleus, the mesencephalic formation reticular system and other brainstem regions contains cholinergic, monoaminergic (mainly noradrenergic) and glutamatergic wake-on neurons. The most important brain structures involved in the regulation of sleep-wake activity 27

28 The basal forebrain (specially the ventrolateral preoptic nucleus) and the anterior hypothalamus contains sleep-on neurons (GABA, galanin). Non-REM-on cells: in the anterior hypothalamus and the basal forebrain REM-waking-on cells: in the brain stem reticular formation REM-off cells: Noradrenergic, adrenergic, and serotonergic cells in the brainstem and histaminergic cells in the forebrain.
