ten compared to the behavioral time scale of neuronal activation (Davidson et al., 2009; Diba and Buzsáki, 2007; Euston et al., 2007; Foster and Wilson, 2006; Nádasdy et al., 1999). Although this time compression is only slightly faster than that generated by the theta-scale compression of distances, the main difference is that in contrast to the waking brain, there are no concurrent real time assembly sequences present during slow wave sleep. Thus, while neuronal processing is perpetual in all brain states, conscious experience of such processing may require real time neural words and sentences.15
