This commentary is referred to the review signed by Rattemborg [N.C. Rattenborg, Evolution of slow wave sleep and palliopallial connectivity in mammals and birds. A hypothesis. Brain Res. Bull. 69 (2006) 20-29]. We propose that the review missed important aspects in relation to the characteristics of sleep in poikilotherm vertebrates and in the evolution of sleep. Poikilotherms continuously show an EEG dominated by slow waves, but its highest amplitude appears not during sleep, but during active waking. In addition, they show an arousal reaction which consists in an increase in EEG amplitude and synchrony, opposite to mammals and birds. As a consequence, most of the conclusions proposed in the review should be rejected.
本评论参考了由拉特滕伯格签署的综述[N.C. 拉特滕伯格，《哺乳动物和鸟类慢波睡眠与苍白球-苍白球连接性的进化。一个假说》。《脑研究通报》69 (2006) 20 - 29]。我们认为该综述遗漏了与变温脊椎动物睡眠特征以及睡眠进化相关的重要方面。变温动物的脑电图持续以慢波为主导，但最高振幅并非出现在睡眠期间，而是出现在活跃清醒状态。此外，它们表现出一种唤醒反应，即脑电图振幅和同步性增加，这与哺乳动物和鸟类相反。因此，该综述中提出的大多数结论应被摒弃。
