title: [Impulse activity of neurons in the nucleus pontis oralis in cats during sleep--wakefulness cycle].
abstract: The nucleus pontis oralis contains several populations of neurons showing distinct sleep-waking discharge patterns. PS-on, PS-off cells, and neurons that discharged in association with phasic movements during paradoxical sleep and/or waking, were found. The findings suggest that different populations of the nucleus pontis oralis neurons take a distinct part in paradoxical sleep control.
