VESTIBULAR NUCLEI: ACTIVITY OF SINGLE NEURONS DURING NATURAL SLEEP AND WAKEFULNESS.

The rate of spontaneous discharge of second-order vestibular neurons is higher during wakefulness than during drowsiness and synchronized sleep. The activity of units recorded from the lateral (and superior) vestibular nucleus remains unmodified or is slightly increased during desynchronized sleep, in spite of the complete disappearance of the postural tonus. Units in medial and descending vestibular nuclei show bursts of rapid discharge associated with the eye movements characteristic of desynchronized sleep.

Pontine reticular formation: relation to lateral geniculate nucleus during deep sleep.

Irregular groups of monophasic waves (seven waves per second) appear synchronously in the pontine reticular, formation and in the lateral geniculate nucleus during the deep (low-voltage, fast) phase of sleep. The geniculate potentials can be triggered by low-rate stimulation of the pontine reticular formation, but the reverse effect has never been obtained.
