Neurophysiological foundations of sleep, arousal, awareness and
... The state of arousal of the cerebral cortex is affected by two main neuroanatomical areas: the ascending reticular system, which is in the pons, and the cognitive system, located in the cerebral cortex and subcortical nuclei. These two regions communicate via the diencephalon, where ascending signal ...

The surface EEG does not allow distinguishing between the various possible arrangements of sinks and sources in the different cortical layers20 . This is due to the fact that the scalp potentials represent only the op ...
