early adulthood (in the 30s or 40s in humans), with males showing greater age-related reductions in delta wave activity than females.

Brain localization and biochemistry

Delta waves can arise either in the thalamus or in the cortex. When associated with the thalamus, they are thought to arise in coordination with the reticular formation. In the cortex, the suprachiasmatic nuclei have been shown to regulate delta waves, as lesions to this
