claimRhythmic neuronal activity in the hypothalamus and brainstem regulates sleep and arousal, and while association of this activity between these regions is important for sleep regulation, bursts of disassociated neuronal activity may contribute to nocturnal seizures.
claimThe hypothalamus and brainstem contain specific patterns of rhythmic neuronal activity that regulate sleep and arousal.
claimEvidence from preclinical and sleep neuroimaging studies suggests that multiple neural systems in the central nervous system are arranged hierarchically and contribute to arousal and insomnia complaints.
