The study revealed that during slow-wave sleep, excitatory pyramidal cells showed decreased calcium activity, but the variance in activity increased, indicating a heterogeneous regulation of network activity. Some pyramidal cells exhibited increased calcium activity during slow-wave sleep, potentially involved in memory processing.
Sleep shapes cortical network activity, fostering global homeostatic downregulation of excitability while maintaining or even upregulating excitability in selected networks in a manner that supports memory consolidation. Here, we used two-photon calcium imaging of cortical layer 2/3 neurons in sleeping male mice to examine how these seemingly opposing dynamics are balanced in cortical networks. During slow-wave sleep (SWS) episodes, mean calcium activity of excitatory pyramidal (Pyr) cells decreased. Simultaneously, however, variance in Pyr population calcium activity increased, contradicting the notion of a homogenous downregulation of network activity. Indeed, we identified a subpopulation of Pyr cells distinctly upregulating calcium activity during SWS, which were highly active during sleep spindles known to support mnemonic processing. Rapid eye movement (REM) episodes following SWS were associated with a general downregulation of Pyr cells, including the sub population of Pyr cells active during spindles, which persisted into following stages of sleep and wakefulness. Parvalbuminpositive inhibitory interneurons (PV-In) showed an increase in calcium activity during SWS episodes, while activity remained unchanged during REM sleep episodes. This supports the view that downregulation of Pyr calcium activity during SWS results from increased somatic inhibition via PV-In, whereas downregulation during REM sleep is achieved independently of such inhibitory activity. Overall, our findings show that SWS enables upregulation of select cortical circuits (likely those which were involved in mnemonic processing) through a spindle-related process, whereas REM sleep mediates general down regulation, possibly through synaptic re-normalization.
