title: [Involvement of pontine tegmentum in wakefulness and sleep states].
abstract: Some of our personal contributions in the last years on pontine sleep mechanisms are presented. The results after specific pontine lesions and cholinergic microstimulation of brain stem areas are reviewed. These results are discussed in relation to current concepts about the role of the pontine tegmentum in sleep mechanisms.
