Resumo
We present a computational study about the influence of the
sensorimotor cortex on the processing of the cuneate nucleus during sleep
as well as wakefulness. Realistic computational models were developed
supported by experimental data obtained from intact-brain preparations
in cat. Furthermore, a physiologically plausible circuit is proposed and
predictions under both different cortical stimulation and synaptic configurations are suggested. The computer simulations show that the CN
circuitry (1) under sleep conditions can block the transmission of afferent
sensory information, and (2) under awaking conditions can perform
operations such as filtering and facilitation.
