An abundance of evidence shows sleep homeostatically regulates synaptic plasticity and memory consolidation but the underlying molecular regulators of this important function of sleep have been difficult to directly elucidate. Arc is an immediate early gene that has a fundamental role in several aspects of synaptic plasticity including regulation and maintenance. Using a physiological brain slice model of slow-wave sleep, here we show that Arc protein has a characteristic spatial and cell-type specific distribution during persistent sleep-related delta oscillations in neocortical slices, which may correlate with aspects of sleep-dependent regulation of synaptic plasticity in cortical regions. In delta oscillating slices, Arc is highly expressed in layer 2/3 dendrites of the primary and secondary association cortex and this dendritic localisation is specific to intrinsically bursting cells (IB) whose cell bodies are in layer 5. Moreover, Arc immunopositive dendrites are clustered together arranged in a quasi hexagonal arrangement with a spacing of [~] 50 {micro}m between clusters. The cytoarchitectural distribution of Arc across the association cortex has implications for the mechanisms of sleep and for the synaptic homeostasis hypothesis regarding the function of sleep.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
