Q

3 methods to assess sleep:

A
  1. Poly Sonography (EEG Data)
  2. Actigraphy Watch
  3. Questionnaires
2
Q

Stage of sleep characterised by small waves of front-central theta activity (4-7hz) + enhanced Beta activity + Drowsiness + muscle twitching

A

Stage 1

3
Q

Stages of sleep characterised by Delta waves (1-4hz)

A

Stage 3 & 4 => SWS

4
Q

Sleep stage dominated by theta waves (4-7Hz) + energy burst sleep spindles

A

Stage 2

5
Q

Deepest stage of sleep

A

Stage 4 - SWS

6
Q

Growth Hormone released in

A

Stage 4 - SWS

7
Q

Sleep stage: Fast desynchronised EEG ==> theta/beta activity with brief alpha rhythm

A

REM sleep/Paradoxical sleep

8
Q

Body during REM

A

muscles relax (muscle atonia)

heart increases

breathing is rapid and shallow

9
Q

% of time in REM sleep

A

20-25%

10
Q

% of time in Stage 4

A

12-15%

11
Q

Longest sleep stage

A

Stage 2 - 45-55%

12
Q

adults sleep cycle

A

90 minus

infant = 50-60 minutes

13
Q

SREM

A

slow rolling eye movemnet - happens in stage 1 and stops in stage 2

14
Q

K complexes

A

found in stage 2 alongside theta waves

15
Q

Which stage of sleep declines as we get older

A

SWS

16
Q

no eye movement occurs in

A

SWS

17
Q

EEG desynchronization

A

The EEG background activity changes from that seen in slow wave sleep (stage III or IV)

18
Q

What happens to SWS in child development

A

Steep Decline

Stage 2 = stable

19
Q

SWS in the brain throughout the development

A

Posterior => Central => Frontal

Matches the course of cortical maturation – possibly contribute to cortical development

20
Q

In which brain region does SWS occur in 1 and 2 years old?

A

Occipital region

- coincides with visual acuity

21
Q

SWS occurs in _ brain region between 17-20 years old

A

Fronto region - coincides with EF development

22
Q

Active System Consolidation

A

Theory on sleep & cognitive development

23
Q

According to ASC theory what happens to memories in sleep

A

Memories move from:
Hippocampus (temporary store) ==> Neocortex (Long Term Store)

neuronal reactivation of declarative memory during slow-wave sleep (SWS) promotes the redistribution of representations initially stored in hippocampal circuitry to extra-hippocampal circuitry for long-term storage.

24
Q

EEG support for ASC

A

neocortical – slow oscillations
Thalamo-cortical – K complexes (spindles)
Hippocampal ripples

25
Q

What is synaptic Homeostasis

A

Sleep & cognitive development Theory

- Sleep allows the brain to normalise and rest

26
Q

How does sleep promote cognitive development according to SH theory

A

It provides:
Motor disconnection
Sensory disconnection

the proposed function of sleep is to provide synaptic renormalization, which has important implications with respect to energy needs, intracranial space, metabolic supplies, and, importantly, enables further plastic changes.

27
Q

What sleep waves potentiate memories?

A

SWS oscillations

28
Q

Benefit of sleep & memory consolidation was associated with…

A

SWS

in Epilepsy patient and TD

29
Q

What discharges are associated with negaitve impact on memory consolidation

A

Interictal
