EEG Sleep
Sleep EEG Definition: an unconsciousness from which the person can be aroused Types: - 1. Non REM Sleep 2. REM sleep 1. Non REM (slow wave sleep) 75 % Characteristics: 1. Deep restful 2. 4 stages 3. EEG: High amplitude , low frequency slow waves 4. Dreamless sleep 5. Decrease vegetative functions 10— 30% decrease in B. P, R. R, B. M. R, Peripheral Vascular Tone
EEG Sleep 2. REM Sleep ( Paradoxical, Desynchronized) 5 – 30 min Every 90 min Duration decrease with deep sleep Characteristics: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Active dreaming Difficult to arouse (morning) Decrease muscle tone Heart Rate, Resp. Rate are irregular Few irregular muscles movements (eyes) Active brain EEG: Rapid, low voltage
EEG during different stages of wakefulness and sleep
EEG Ø Alert wakefulness is characterized by highfrequency beta waves Ø quiet wakefulness is usually associated with alpha waves
Slow-wave sleep is divided into 4 stages EEG Ø Ist stage, -the voltage of the EEG waves becomes low broken by short spindleshaped bursts of alpha waves that occur periodically
EEG Ø Stages 2, 3, and 4 Ø frequency of the EEG becomes progressively slower until it reaches a frequency of only one to three waves per second in stage 4 (delta waves)
EEG REM sleep Ø waves are irregular and of high frequency-desynchronized nervous activity as found in the awake state Ø called desynchronized sleep because there is lack of synchrony in the firing of the neurons despite significant brain activity
EEG Stages of sleep
EEG
EEG Alpha waves Ø frequency between 8 and 13 cycles/sec – Ø healthy adults when they are awake and in a quiet, resting state of cerebration Ø voltage is usually about 50 microvolts Ø disappear during deep sleep
EEG Beta waves Ø frequency greater than 14 cycles/ sec-- 80 cycles/sec Ø awake alert eyes open --specific type of mental activity the alpha waves are replaced by asynchronous, higher frequency but lower voltage beta waves
EEG Theta waves Ø have frequencies between 4— 7 cycles/sec Ø occur normally in children Ø during emotional stress in some adults (disappointment and frustration) Ø in many brain disorders(degenerative brain states)
EEG Delta waves Ø frequencies less than 3. 5 cycles/sec Ø voltages two to four times greater than most other types of brain waves Ø very deep sleep Ø in infancy Ø serious organic brain disease Ø delta waves can occur strictly in the cortex independent of activities in lower regions of the brain
EEG Basic Theories • Passive theory (reticular activating system became fatigued) • Active inhibitory process (sleep is caused by an active inhibitory process-transecting the brain stem at the level of the midpons creates a brain cortex that never goes to sleep)--a center below the midpontile level reqd for sleep)
EEG Genesis of Sleep Stimulation of synchronizing regions: 1. Basal fore-brain sleep zone: ØRaphe nuclei in lower half of pons and medulla ØSerotonin Contd…
EEG 2. Medullary synchronizing zone: Ø Stimulation of nucleus tractus solitarius of brain stem can also cause sleep Ø This nucleus is the termination in the medulla and pons for visceral sensory signals entering by way of the vagus and glossopharyngeal nerves.
EEG Genesis of Sleep Ø 3. Diencephalic sleep zone: Stimulation of several regions as (1) the rostral part of the hypothalamus, mainly in the suprachiasmal area (2) in the diffuse nuclei of the thalamus .
EEG Lesions in Sleep-Promoting Centers Can Cause Intense Wakefulness • lesions in the raphe nuclei • lesions in the medial rostral suprachiasmal area in the anterior hypothalamus
EEG Neurotransmitters 1. Sleep peptide 2. Serotonin 3. Muramyl peptide 4. Adenosine
EEG Genesis of REM Sleep • Large Acetylcholine secreting neurons in upper brainstem reticular formation • via efferent fibers, activate many portions of the brain
EEG Cycle Between Sleep and Wakefulness If sleep centers are not activated mesencephalic and upper pontile reticular activating nuclei are released from inhibition- reticular activating nuclei become spontaneously active. cerebral cortex and the peripheral nervous system excited ---send positive feed back signals to reticular activating nuclei wakefulness sustains
EEG Sleep Wake Cycle Ø after the brain remains activated for many hours, even the neurons in the activating system become fatigued. Ø the positive feedback cycle between the mesencephalic reticular nuclei and the cerebral cortex fades and the sleep promoting effects of the sleep centers take over Ø leading to rapid transition from wakefulness back to sleep.
EEG Physiological Effects Ø restores both normal levels of brain activity and normal “balance” among the different functions of the central nervous system Sleep Disorders: • • • Insomnia Fatal familial insomnia Somnambulism Narcolepsy Sleep apnea
EEG Effect of varying degrees of cerebral activity on the basic rhythm of the electroencephalogram
EEG Effect of Varying Levels of Cerebral Activity on the Frequency of the EEG Ø the average frequency increases progressively with higher degrees of activity Ø delta waves in surgical anesthesia and deep sleep Ø theta waves in psychomotor states Ø alpha waves during relaxed states Ø beta waves during intense mental activity or fright (asynchronous)
