    Abstract:
    Dynamics of the neuronal activity of the cingulate gyrus (CG) in the sleep-wakefulness cycle (SWC) was studied in free-moving cats. Most of neurons (65.4) discharged with high frequency during active wakefulness (AW) and emotional stage of paradoxical sleep (PS); the frequency of discharges decreased during the passive wakefulness (PW) and slow-wave sleep (SWS). 15% of neurons showed opposite dynamics of the activity. They fired more intensively during the SWS. 19.6% of neurons showed no statistically significant difference in the discharge frequency of different phases of the SWC. Most of neurons (75.2%) regularly changed the pattern of discharges at a chang of the phases of the SWC. In particular, those neurons discharged by single spikes, more or less uniformly distributed in time, against the background of AW and PS. With the development of the SWS neurons began to discharge according to the cluster-pause principle. During the development of the short fragments of the EEG arousal, most of neurons either decrease (42.6%) or did not change (50.4%) the activity. The involvement of the CG in the regulation of the SWC is discussed.
