“…41 Additionally it would be interesting to test it in the context of a total sleep deprivation (SWS and PS) during which sleep pressure induced by prolonged wakefulness elicits substantial changes in EEG features. [42][43][44]…”

“…Quantitative analysis of the EEG constitutes a useful tool that allows us to relate changes in brain electrical activity to specific behavioral situations and/or experimental manipulations. In fact, using this kind of analysis, cortical and subcortical EEG changes in response to different behavioral conditions were successfully described 176–179 . In view of this, we considered that an electroencephalographic analysis would be useful for determining the participation of different cerebral areas in the organization of sexual behaviors in the rat.…”

Motivation can be defined as a class of central nervous processes determining the likelihood of display of a behavior and the intensity of the behavior if displayed. All behavior is, according to this definition, caused and controlled by motivation. Although the concept of motivation eventually could be replaced by an entirely mechanistic explanation of the causes of behavior, in terms of neural events, such explanations would be overly complex for everyday use. This is particularly the case with regard to the momentaneous fluctuations in the intensity of a behavior, like those occurring during copulation in rats. Thus, the concept of motivation will remain useful even when mechanistic explanations become available. Even though the propensity to perform sexual responses is determined by sexual motivation, another element is required for the execution of such responses. This other element is an appropriate stimulus, a sexual incentive. For a male rat, an appropriate incentive could be a sexually receptive female. For a human, it could be a mental representation of a sexual partner. The incentive activates approach behaviors, and the intensity of these behaviors will be determined by motivation and by the quality of the incentive stimulus, its attractivity. Much work has been done with the purpose of identifying the nature of the incentive stimulus or stimuli emitted by rats and other mammals. While visual stimuli seem to be of limited importance, auditory and particularly olfactory stimuli have been found to have incentive properties. Soluble chemicals may be important for some aspects of copulation, but copulatory motor patterns are basically under the control of tactile stimuli. The processing of sexual incentives in the rat brain has been studied with electroencephalographic techniques, and data show that the prefrontal cortex (PFC) participates in the identification of sexual incentives. Furthermore, there are important differences between the medial and orbital frontal cortices. The medial PFC, as well as the ventral tegmental area, also seem to participate in the generation of pelvic thrusting.

“…10 The effects of sleep deprivation can be assessed more accurately through the spectral analysis of electrical field potentials. The power of slow wave activity during both recovery sleep 11 and forced wakefulness 12 increases linearly with the number of hours of sleep deprivation. The coherence of electrical activity between the left and right parietal lobes is disrupted by both total sleep deprivation and selective REM sleep deprivation.…”
