Abstract

Slow waves are a distinguishing feature of non-rapid-eye-movement (NREM) sleep, an evolutionarily conserved process critical for brain function. Non-human studies posit that the claustrum, a small subcortical nucleus, coordinates slow waves. We recorded claustrum neurons in humans during sleep. In contrast to neurons from other brain regions, claustrum neurons increased their activity and tracked slow waves during NREM sleep suggesting that the claustrum plays a role in human sleep architecture.
