title: Unilateral EEG activation during sleep in the Cape fur seal, Arctocephalus pusillus.
abstract: Sleep and wakefulness on the land were studied electrophysiologically in one adult female Cape fur seal (Arctocephalus pusillus). In two 24-h sessions, slow-wave sleep and paradoxical sleep averaged 27.4% and 4.6% of the total recording time. Almost 40% of the total slow-wave sleep time was accounted for episodes with well-defined interhemispheric ECoG asymmetry.
