Product Information

With infectious energy, honesty, and humour, The Big O gives women a space to celebrate topics and conversations that have historically only been whispered behind closed doors. This book will inspire you – and educate you – on how to communicate with your partner (and yourself!) to have the best sex of your life, as well as debunking taboos and delving deep into important topics that need bringing into the spotlight; from masturbation and sex toys, to kinks, virginity, sexual identities, and sex positions you won’t know how you ever lived without.

A critical period of sleep for development of courtship circuitry and behavior in Drosophila. Science. 2014;344(6181):269–74. A convincing investigation demonstrating that sleep promotes normal brain development in Drosophila by experimentally hyperactivating a sleep-promoting neural circuit, which led to sleep loss and later deficits in adult behavior.

The EEG maturity level at birth is different across mammalian species, which is reflected in the amount of REM sleep. For example, while rats are relatively immature compared to humans, guinea pigs are advanced [ 7]. As a marker of developmental status, maturity may be quantified as the amount of REM sleep at birth relative to adult REM sleep levels [ 7]. In all mammal studies to date, the observation that the amount of REM (active) sleep is initially much higher during early postnatal development than it is in later adult life may suggest that REM sleep provides an endogenous source of activation, which may be critical for neurodevelopment. Recent studies performed in rat pups support this hypothesis. In active or REM sleep, muscle twitches are highly structured and induce specific cortical activity during periods of twitching [ 11•, 12]. Although twitches have long been considered by-products of a dreaming brain, more recent results indicate that twitches are organized behaviors that are functionally meaningful for the developing nervous system [ 12].

Yet, a SWA decline across the night is first visible during the second postnatal month [ 17] and may also be reflected in a decline of theta power observed between 6 and 9 months of age [ 18]. Another homeostatic marker, the slope of slow waves, shows a sleep-dependent decline as early as 2 months of age [ 19•]. Sleep homeostasis further develops in adolescence, as reflected in the attenuation of the buildup of sleep pressure across the day with no corresponding change in its decline during sleep [ 20].

Moreover, caffeine alters behavioral and structural markers of maturation [ 10]. These caffeine-induced lasting morphological changes might be due to alterations in sleep regulatory processes, such that altering sleep-wake regulation by stimulants like caffeine may affect synaptic plasticity.

Nat Neurosci. 2013;16(4):391–3. Growing rapidly throughout early life, myelin is an important contributor to brain connectivity and a cornerstone for cognitive brain maturation [ 49– 51]. However, space and movement constraints with MRI make it a challenge to dissect precise morphological and molecular underpinnings of neurodevelopment. Although fiber architecture is highly heritable and thus programmed [ 52], recent findings in humans suggest a tight coupling between subcortical fiber plasticity and cortical activity, such that they reciprocally trigger growth and maintenance [ 53•]. Thus, the cortex matures in concert with subcortical structures, which might require sleep. Indeed, sleep-dependent changes in membrane synthesis, oligodendrocyte proliferation, and myelin growth [ 54•, 55] indicate that neuronal activity during sleep could induce myelin growth and enhance functional connectivity in the developing brain [ 40].
