Sleep and human cerebellar pathology.
The organization and the quantitative evaluation of sleep stages were studied in patients with cerebellar syndrome. 25 polygraphic night recordings were scored according to the criteria suggested by Rechtschaffen & Kales (1968) and the sleep parameters investigated were referred to those indicated by Williams et al. (1974). The results matched with a homogeneous sample of normal subjects. Significant alterations were observed for several parameters of sleep, and the possible causes discussed.
