Ion concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid in wakefulness, sleep and sleep deprivation in healthy humans

Volume: 31, Issue: 3
Published: Nov 17, 2021
Abstract
Sleep is controlled by a circadian rhythmicity, via a reduction of arousal-promoting neuromodulatory activity, and by accumulation of somnogenic factors in the interstitial fluid of the brain. Recent experiments in mice suggest that a reduced neuronal excitability caused by a reduced concentration of potassium in the brain, concomitant with an increased concentration of calcium and magnesium, constitutes an important mediator of sleep. In the...
