Focal limbic sources create the large slow oscillations of the EEG in human deep sleep

Written By Silvio Nunes

Slow oscillations (SOs) in the human EEG have been described as neocortical traveling waves.

EEG source localization shows that human SOs reflect focal cortical sources that are generated primarily by limbic cortex.

Findings provide clues to the neurophysiology of limbic networks in consolidating memory in deep sleep.
