  • Title: Spectral analyses of PGO-on neurons during paradoxical sleep in freely moving cats.
    Author: Sei H, Sakai K, Yamamoto M, Jouvet M.
    Journal: Brain Res; 1993 May 28; 612(1-2):351-3. PubMed ID: 8330211.
    Abstract:
    We have investigated the power spectral density (PSD) characteristics of spontaneous neuronal activities during paradoxical sleep (PS), including phasically firing PGO-on and tonically discharging type I-R neurons in the pontine tegmentum. The PSD of lateral geniculate PGO waves and blood pressure (BP) were also examined. During PS, the PSD of PGO-on neurons and PGO waves showed an almost white noise-like pattern, while that of TI-R neurons and BP exhibited a 1/f spectrum. It appears, therefore, that the neuronal and autonomic slow fluctuations found in the 1/f spectrum during PS are not driven by the PGO wave system.
