  • Title: Formation of the sleep-regulating mechanisms in vertebrates.
    Author: Khomutetskaya OE, Shilling NV, Karmanova IG.
    Journal: Waking Sleeping; 1979 Apr; 3(2):149-58. PubMed ID: 494645.
    Abstract:
    The paper presents new data concerning the mechanisms of regulation of sleep-like states in vertebrates. Somato-vegetative and behavioral correlates of primary sleep (fish, amphibians), intermediate sleep (reptiles), slow-wave and paradoxical sleep (birds) are described. The evolutionary more ancient hypothalamo-cortical and young thalamo-cortical levels of regulation of different forms of sleep are examined. Problems of existence of functional analogues of homoiotherms' sleep are discussed.
