[Phasic activity in rats].
At the central level, in the rat, phasic activity has been recorded during paradoxical sleep and in acute conditions after injection of reserpine or parachlorophenylalanine. At the external level, during paradoxical sleep, the extraocular muscles lateral rectus, superior rectus and superior oblique are activated in both plastic and tonic manners. The muscles of the whiskers are also activated; these muscular activations are more often than not synchronous with the eye movements (80%). The time distribution of these ocular movements is homogenous. Reserpine induces phasic muscular activations of the extraocular muscles.
