Rapid eye movement sleep (REM) is believed to have a binary temporal structure with “phasic” and “tonic" microstates, characterized by motoric activity versus quiescence, respectively. However, we observed in mice that the frequency of theta activity (a marker of rodent REM) fluctuates in a non-binary fashion, with the extremes of that fluctuation correlating with phasic-type and tonic-type facial motricity. Thus, phasic and tonic REM may instead represent ends of a continuum. These cycles of brain physiology and facial movement occurred at 0.01-0.06 Hz, or infraslow frequencies, and affected cross-frequency coupling and neuronal activity in the neocortex, suggesting network functional impact. We then analyzed human data and observed that humans also demonstrate non-binary phasic/tonic microstates, with continuous 0.01-0.04 Hz respiratory rate cycles matching the incidence of eye movements. These fundamental properties of REM can yield new insights into our understanding of sleep health.

This collection includes all of the data from auger holes and cores drilled by PASH in the vicinity of Lake Shkodra. These data are stored as comma-separated text files (.CSV). They are organized into eight different worksheets, titled: 1) Auger Hole Summary; 2) Auger Hole Sample Data; 3) Core 4 Data; 4) Core 5 Data; 5) Core 6 Data; 6) Core 8 Data; 7) Core 9 Data; and 8) PASH geological data ALL (Excel)., See readme for full description., and Chapter linked to: Chapter Two
This record includes photos (JPGs) and drawings (PDF of scans of originals) of small finds, e.g., glass; coins, spindle whorls, loom weights, metal artifacts; bullets; nails; etc., as well as a list of the drawings with descriptions (PDF file) and a small finds database (.CSV). The database includes all small finds collected and analyzed by PASH, although not all small finds were drawn and photographed. Grinding stones and chipped stone are located in separate records. and Chapter linked to: Seventeen
This Work includes a .csv database file and .jpg photos of artifacts. Artifact photos are preceded by photos of artifact tags, labeled with descriptive information. Also included are portable x-ray florescence (PXRF) spectroscopic data and photomicrographs. and Descriptions/data and photos of grinding stones are in Small Finds record, https://doi.org/10.7302/5j43-mc03.
