Gemignani A, Menicucci D, Laurino M, Piarulli A, Mastorci F, Sebastiani L, et al.
Arch Ital Biol . 2016 Jan; 153(2-3):135-43. PMID: 26742667
We review current models of consciousness in the context of wakefulness and sleep. We show that recent results on Slow Wave Sleep, including our own works, naturally fit within consciousness...

Medicine and Surgery, University of Pisa, via Savi 10, 56126, Pisa, Italy Sleep spindles are electroencephalographic oscillations peculiar of non-REM sleep, related to neuronal mechanisms underlying sleep restoration and learning...

Laurino M, Guerriero L, Allegrini P, Menicucci D, Mastorci F, Magrin D, et al.
Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc . 2016 Jan; 2015:194-7. PMID: 26736233
Sea-diving operations for monitoring or intervention are carried out by highly-specialized divers called Certified Commercial Divers (CCD). CCDs operate under highly demanding working conditions in extreme and hazardous environments. Every...

Allegrini P, Paradisi P, Menicucci D, Laurino M, Piarulli A, Gemignani A
Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys . 2015 Oct; 92(3):032808. PMID: 26465529
Criticality reportedly describes brain dynamics. The main critical feature is the presence of scale-free neural avalanches, whose auto-organization is determined by a critical branching ratio of neural-excitation spreading. Other features,...

Paradisi P, Allegrini P, Chiarugi D
BMC Syst Biol . 2015 Jun; 9 Suppl 3:S7. PMID: 26051120
A fundamental evolutionary step in the onset of living cells is thought to be the spontaneous formation of lipid vesicles (liposomes) in the pre-biotic mixture. Even though it is well...

Menicucci D, Piarulli A, Allegrini P, Bedini R, Bergamasco M, Laurino M, et al.
Int J Psychophysiol . 2015 May; 97(2):99-107. PMID: 26003553
Sleep Slow Oscillations (SSOs), paradigmatic EEG markers of cortical bistability (alternation between cellular downstates and upstates), and sleep spindles, paradigmatic EEG markers of thalamic rhythm, are two hallmarks of sleeping...

Gemignani A, Piarulli A, Menicucci D, Laurino M, Rota G, Mastorci F, et al.
Int J Psychophysiol . 2014 May; 93(2):211-9. PMID: 24793641
Spaceflights "environment" negatively affects sleep and its functions. Among the different causes promoting sleep alterations, such as circadian rhythms disruption and microgravity, stress is of great interest also for earth-based...

Laurino M, Menicucci D, Piarulli A, Mastorci F, Bedini R, Allegrini P, et al.
Neuroimage . 2014 Feb; 86:433-45. PMID: 24513527
During non-REM sleep the largest EEG response evoked by sensory stimulation is the K-complex (eKC), composed of an initial positive bump (P200) followed by a bistable cortical response: a giant...

Menicucci D, Piarulli A, Allegrini P, Laurino M, Mastorci F, Sebastiani L, et al.
Int J Psychophysiol . 2013 Feb; 89(2):151-7. PMID: 23384886
During NREM sleep cortical activity corresponding to EEG fast rhythms (FRs>10 Hz) is interrupted by fragments of neural stillness (down-states), responsible for the negative peak within sleep slow oscillation (SSO)....
