I’m confused about one of the early descriptions of an increase in sleep spindles supposedly consolidating the motor development occuring from around 12 months. Scholle et al. (2007) state “Between age 1.1 and 3 years the spindle density was lowest and the interspindle interval was longest with high variability; at this time also, the spindle length was shortest”. Low spindle density, long interspindle intervals and short spindle length sounds to me like a decrease in sleep spindles???
Thanks for looking to reach out! I try to reply to every single email I get (really!), but sometimes it takes a little while or some messages just fall through the cracks, usually by accident.
