Abstract

The relation between oneiric behavior and rapid eye movements (REMs) in paradoxical sleep (PS) without muscle atonia was analyzed in cats. Most isolated REMs were related to orienting behavior, whereas most REM bursts were related to generalized body movements (jumping, attacking, etc.). Only isolated, high amplitude REMs had any possibility of corresponding to visual images in dreams. From these findings we propose the existence of both dream-related and nondream-related REMs even in animals.

摘要

对猫在无肌肉张力缺失的异相睡眠（PS）中梦呓行为与快速眼动（REM）之间的关系进行了分析。大多数孤立的快速眼动与定向行为有关，而大多数快速眼动爆发与全身性身体运动（跳跃、攻击等）有关。只有孤立的、高振幅的快速眼动有可能与梦中的视觉图像相对应。从这些发现中我们提出，即使在动物中也存在与梦相关和与梦无关的快速眼动。
