Abstract
A neural population model of sleep is a mathematical model of neural populations that regulate the timing and expression of sleep/wake patterns. Specific circuits and nuclei have been identified in the mammalian brainstem and hypothalamus that play a key role in modulating the brain’s overall arousal state with a circadian (daily) rhythm. These neural populations have been the focus of most sleep modeling.
