Human slow-wave sleep and the cerebral cortex.
Recent hypotheses about the roles of human slow-wave sleep (hSWS-delta EEG activity) are appraised. The possible linkage between hSWS and the functions of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) are explored with respect to normal subjects and to disorders involving PFC deficits.
