[Saccadic automatism in babies during rapid sleep].
Characteristics of rapid eye movements (saccades) in babies (six babies of 1-8 months age) recorded by electrooculography method in paradoxical phase of sleep are analyzed in comparison with analogous data in adults during sleep and in alertness in various conditions of eye movements recording. Coincidence of distribution curves of intersaccadic intervals and amplitudes of saccades in babies and adults is revealed. It is also found that the most frequently met intervals (in the range up to 1 s) in sleep and wakefulness are of comparable values 71.5-90.5%. On the basis of the obtained data the suggestion is made about automation of saccades, forming the base of saccadic activity and manifested in babies and adults during sleep and also in wakefulness, against the background of which other kinds of oculomotor activity are realized. Automation of saccades is formed in early ontogenesis.
