Phillips D, Schei J, Rector D
Sleep
. 2013 Oct;
36(10):1459-70.
PMID: 24082305
Study Objectives: Our previous studies showed that evoked hemodynamic responses are smaller during wake compared to sleep; suggesting neural activity is associated with vascular expansion and decreased compliance. We explored...

Krueger J, Huang Y, Rector D, Buysse D
Eur J Neurosci
. 2013 May;
38(2):2199-209.
PMID: 23651209
We posit a bottom-up sleep-regulatory paradigm in which state changes are initiated within small networks as a consequence of local cell activity. Bottom-up regulatory mechanisms are prevalent throughout nature, occurring...

Sleep
. 2011 Nov;
34(11):1527-37.
PMID: 22043124
Study Objectives: Auditory evoked potential (AEP) components correspond to sequential activation of brain structures within the auditory pathway and reveal neural activity during sensory processing. To investigate state-dependent modulation of...

Schei J, Rector D
Curr Top Med Chem
. 2011 Sep;
11(19):2447-51.
PMID: 21906020
Neural activity utilizes energy resources and requires replenishment of metabolites through vascular dilation. During wake, cortical neurons usually have depolarized membrane potentials and exhibit frequent spontaneous action potentials, requiring an...

Prog Brain Res
. 2011 Aug;
193:233-44.
PMID: 21854966
Neuronal activity elicits vascular dilation, delivering additional blood and metabolites to the activated region. With increasing neural activity, vessels stretch and may become less compliant. Most functional imaging studies assume...

Sleep
. 2011 Jan;
34(1):65-72.
PMID: 21203374
Study Objective: To determine if low-level intermittent auditory stimuli have the potential to disrupt sleep during 24-h recordings, we assessed arousal occurrence to varying stimulus intensities. Additionally, if stimulus-generated evoked...

J Neurosci Methods
. 2010 Dec;
196(1):20-30.
PMID: 21167200
We developed a high speed voice coil based whisker stimulator that delivers precise deflections of a single whisker or group of whiskers in a repeatable manner. The device is miniature,...

. 2010 Aug;
216(1):229-37.
PMID: 20696188
Investigations into the physiological mechanisms of sleep control require an animal psychomotor vigilance task (PVT) with fast response times (<300 ms). Rats provide a good PVT model since whisker stimulation...
