  • Title: EEG frequency patterns in the cat prepyriform cortex during sleep and waking.
    Author: Willey TJ, Adey WR, Maeda G, Will AD, Tosk J.
    Journal: Neurol Res; 1985 Dec; 7(4):182-9. PubMed ID: 2869429.
    Abstract:
    The cellular populations in the prepyriform cortex are a primary processing station for sensory information from the olfactory bulb. These populations are also influenced from forebrain and other brain systems involved in behaviour. Recording electrodes can be precisely placed in this cortex compared to many other brain structures. This permits straddling the cortical superficial pyramidal cell layer with a bipolar recording configuration and the ability to obtain information about awake-vigilant and other state conditions from this brain structure. Methadone, a vigorously arousing drug in the cat, and a short acting barbiturate was administered to compare the differences of EEG patterns obtained during normal awake and sleep conditions. Fourier analysis was used in this study and combined with computer profiles of spectra to show time relationships of the state conditions in the cortex. Good separation of the spectra, between the major states in the cat, were observed using this technique for both natural and drug-induced changes.
