Fig. 8: Synergistic effects of SWR-spindle coupling.

a Solitary spindle (n = 4288 epochs) triggered BOLD responses in the NREM state. Results in the axial view were shown in Supplementary Fig. 23. bd Significant differences between spindle coupled SWRs triggered BOLD response and the summation of BOLD responses of solitary spindles and SWRs in mPFC, HPF and Thal. Each dot represented an individual session (sample size: n = 16 sessions). Statistical significance was tested using the two-tailed paired t-test. Error bars, standard errors of the mean. e Whole brain mapping of the synergistic effects of SWR-spindle coupling. Statistical significance was tested using the two-tailed paired t-test. mPFC medial prefrontal cortex, HPF hippocampal formation, Thal thalamus. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
