IN 10 of 12 subjects examined, the amplitude N300, a component cortical auditory evoked potential, was evidently smaller in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep than non-REM sleep. The start reduction associated with onset first episode REM examined these subjects. In five these, marked N300 occurred 0.5–2.5 min before appearance muscle atonia two subjects, similarly 0.5–1.0 disappearance spindles or K-complexes. This suggests that suppression synchronizing mechanism cerebrum sometimes occurs...
Abstract Behavior of event related potential (ERP) components in the drowsy state was examined nine subjects using oddball paradigm. A component with peak latency 300 msec, N300, superimposed on ERP state. N300 appeared also stage 1 NREM sleep and closely resembled vertex sharp wave evoked by sound stimulation both scalp distribution latency. It suggested that recorded are generated identical synchronizing mechanism brain.
