Each oscillation is individually color-scaled to its respective minimum and maximum power. Unvisited states are in gray. The overlay maps demonstrate how the power of each oscillation varies on the state space and across sleep and awake trials.

State and layer-dependent coupling of hippocampal oscillations.

(A) Representative pairwise correlation among 18 oscillations (D, delta; T, theta; B, beta; SG, slow gamma; MG, medium gamma; FG, fast gamma) from three layers (stratum pyramidale [SP], stratum radiatum [SR], stratum lacunosum moleculare [SLM]). Rows are arranged by combining all three layers for each oscillation. (B) Correlation matrix space generated by using matrices in (A) from all the mice (total 16 points, 8 sleep and 8 awake trials from four mice). Each point represents the correlation matrix of oscillations. The separation of sleep and awake points in the correlation matrix space suggests distinct nature of coupling among oscillations during sleep and wakefulness. (C) Binned state space (gray) for a sleep trial. Representative rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM bins highlighted (black) and their corresponding correlation matrix of oscillations. (D) Correlation matrix space constructed using matrices from all bins collected from all trials and all animals. Each point on correlation matrix space projection represents a correlation matrix. (E) Bin status (awake, REM, non-REM, intermediate sleep) overlaid on correlation matrix space, exhibiting state dependent coupling of hippocampal oscillations (p<0.0001 using multivariate ANOVA).

Distinct sleep signature corresponds to distinct cell types in hippocampus.

Analysis of hc-11 dataset reveals that pyramidal and interneurons in hippocampal CA1 are modulated by distinct set of oscillations during sleep. We analyzed three rats: Rat Achilles (9 interneurons, 63 pyramidal neurons), Rat Cicero (15 interneurons, 42 pyramidal neurons), and Rat gGatsby (7 interneurons, 48 pyramidal neurons). Sleep signatures and Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) are obtained by the methods used for generating Figure 8C.
