Pontine reticular formation: relation to lateral geniculate nucleus during deep sleep

E BIZZI et al. Science. .

Abstract

Irregular groups of monophasic waves (seven waves per second) appear synchronously in the pontine reticular, formation and in the lateral geniculate nucleus during the deep (low-voltage, fast) phase of sleep. The geniculate potentials can be triggered by low-rate stimulation of the pontine reticular formation, but the reverse effect has never been obtained.
