Disturbed laterality of non-rapid eye movement sleep oscillations in post-stroke human sleep: a pilot study.

ABSTRACT: Sleep is known to promote recovery post-stroke. However, there is a paucity of data profiling sleep oscillations post-stroke in the human brain. Recent rodent work showed that resurgence of physiologic spindles coupled to sleep slow oscillations(SOs) and concomitant decrease in pathological delta(δ) waves is associated with sustained motor performance gains during stroke recovery. The goal of this study was to evaluate bilaterality of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep-oscillations (namely SOs, δ-waves, spindles and their nesting) in post-stroke patients versus healthy control subjects. We analyzed NREM-marked electroencephalography (EEG) data in hospitalized stroke-patients (n=5) and healthy subjects (n=3) from an open-sourced dataset. We used a laterality index to evaluate
