I am very happy to share this paper w/ for Current Op in Physiology (free) We review the physiological mechanisms allowing sleepers to either block sensory inputs or to process them without waking up.

We show, in particular, the limitations of the influential *thalamic gating* hypothesis proposed 25 years ago. We outline additional and potentially more preponderant mechanisms of sensory decoupling:

1/ In NREM sleep, there is growing evidence that neuronal bistability could induce a form of *cortical gating*, preventing sensory information to spread throughout the cortex.

2/ In REM, sensory information coming from within (the stuff that dreams are made on?) could block external information (*informational gating*). Ultimately, very different mechanisms occurring in disparate phys. states could result in the same outcome: the preservation of sleep.

But the brain can still complexly process sounds during sleep! *Local sleep* (part of the brain sleeping less deeply or waking up) could support the confined processing of auditory information, allowing the fine monitoring of the environment without triggering a global awakening.

Such local intrusions of wake during sleep is the reversed phenomenon of the local intrusions of sleep during wake that we discussed last year:

This review is part of a special issue on the Physiology of Sleep edited by & Prof Jenny Morton. Thanks to , , and for their support. And where I conducted this research under the supervision of !
