# brain: rhythm-regulation and plasticity through oscillations

<< During inattentive wakefulness and non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, the neocortex and thalamus cooperatively engage in rhythmic activities >>

<< thalamic oscillations of low-vigilance states have a plasticity function that (..) can shape ongoing oscillations during inattention and NREM sleep and may potentially reconfigure thalamic networks for faithful information processing during attentive wakefulness >>
