We investigated the temporal relationship between hippocampal theta waves and ponto-geniculo-occipital waves (PGO) during rapid eye movement sleep (REM sleep) in cats. In addition, we analyzed the relationship between hippocampal theta waves and PGO as elicited by tone stimulus (PGO(E)) in order to quantitively characterize the PGO wave generator mechanism. The results showed that a spontaneous PGO tended to be phase-locked to the theta wave, which was more clearly observed in the single PGO than in the cluster. However, cluster PGO(E) tended to be phase-locked as well as single PGO(E). It was therefore suggested that the generator of PGO is activated in relation to the hippocampal theta wave. An acceleration of the theta wave associated with PGO occurrence was found, and was more markedly observed than with the cluster PGO. Although the magnitude of it was less than in the spontaneous case, an acceleration around the PGO(E) was also observed. These results suggest that the generators of theta and PGO receive some common activations, especially when a cluster PGO is generated. The interaction between PGO and hippocampal theta waves is expected to be involved in the possible functions of REM sleep.

D011149 Pons The front part of the hindbrain (RHOMBENCEPHALON) that lies between the MEDULLA and the midbrain (MESENCEPHALON) ventral to the cerebellum. It is composed of two parts, the dorsal and the ventral. The pons serves as a relay station for neural pathways between the CEREBELLUM to the CEREBRUM.

D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.
