Consistent sequential activity across diverse forms of UP states under ketamine anesthesia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
During slow-wave sleep, the neocortex shows complex, self-organized spontaneous activity. Similar slow-wave oscillations are present under anesthesia where massive, persistent network activity (UP states) alternates with periods of generalized neural silence (DOWN states). To investigate the neuronal activity patterns occurring during UP states, we recorded simultaneously from populations of cells in neocortical layer V of ketamine/xylazine-anesthetized rats. UP states formed a diverse class. In particular, simultaneous-onset UP states were typically accompanied by sharp field potentials and 10-14 Hz modulation, and were often grouped in a 3 Hz ('delta') pattern. Longer, slow-onset UP states did not exhibit 10-14 Hz modulation, and showed a slow propagation across recording electrodes ('traveling waves'). Despite this diversity, the temporal patterns of spiking activity were similar across different UP state types. Analysis of cross-correlograms revealed conserved temporal relationships among neurons, with each neuron having specific timing during UP states. As a group, putative interneurons were most active at the beginning of UP states and putative pyramidal cells were active uniformly throughout the duration of UP states. These results show that UP states under ketamine anesthesia have a stable, fine-structured firing pattern despite a large variability in global structure.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
