  • Title: Ponto-geniculo-occipital (PGO) burst neurons: correlative evidence for neuronal generators of PGO waves.
    Author: McCarley RW, Nelson JP, Hobson JA.
    Journal: Science; 1978 Jul 21; 201(4352):269-72. PubMed ID: 663656.
    Abstract:
    A newly discovered class of neurons, ponto-geniculo-occipital (PGO) burst neurons, has PGO wave relationships of phase-leading, stereotyped discharge bursts, and the highest reported discharge specificity and coherence; these neurons thus fulfill correlative criteria for output generator neurons for PGO waves. The PGO burst neurons are recorded in a discrete dorsal brainstem area in apposition to the brachium conjunctivum.
