EEG sleep slow-wave activity as a mirror of cortical maturation
Open accessAbstract
Deep (slow wave) sleep shows extensive maturational changes from childhood through adolescence, which is reflected in a decrease of sleep depth measured as the activity of electroencephalographic (EEG) slow waves. This decrease in sleep depth is paralleled by massive synaptic remodeling during adolescence as observed in anatomical studies, which supports the notion that adolescence represents a sensitive period for cortical maturation. To assess the relationship between slow-wave activity (SWA) and cortical maturation, we acquired sleep EEG and magnetic resonance imaging data in children and adolescents between 8 and 19 years. We observed a tight relationship between sleep SWA and a variety of indexes of cortical maturation derived from magnetic resonance (MR) images. Specifically, gray matter volumes in regions correlating positively with the activity of slow waves largely overlapped with brain areas exhibiting an age-dependent decrease in gray matter. The positive relationship between SWA and cortical gray matter was present also for power in other frequency ranges (theta, alpha, sigma, and beta) and other vigilance states (theta during rapid eye movement sleep). Our findings indicate a strong relationship between sleep EEG activity and cortical maturation. We propose that in particular, sleep SWA represents a good marker for structural changes in neuronal networks reflecting cortical maturation during adolescence.

Frontal and parietal cortical gray matter volume decreases across 5-30 years and exhibits curvilinear trajectories closely correlated with loss of slow-wave power in the same areas.
“Interestingly, frontal and parietal cortical gray matter (but not white matter) volume decreases across this same age bracket, and exhibits curvilinear trajectories that are closely correlated to the loss of slow-wave power in these same areas (Buchmann et al., 2011; Smit et al., 2012; Whitford et al., 2007).”

These coincident trajectories support the hypothesis that developmental changes in baseline electrophysiological signatures may primarily be subserved by reduction of neuropil and progressive synapse elimination.
“These coincident trajectories have provided key support for the hypothesis that developmental changes in baseline electrophysiological signatures may primarily be subserved by reduction of neuropil and progressive synapse elimination (Buchmann et al., 2011; Smit et al., 2012; Whitford et al., 2007).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
