Neuronal activity of 58 cells in the lateral nucleus of the amygdala of freely moving cats was studied across stages of sleep-wakefulness. In general, these units were very slow firing in all states (mean discharge rate less than 1 spike/sec) with the highest rates typically observed during slow wave sleep and paradoxical sleep. Most units tended to show some bursting activity during all states. The bursting during paradoxical sleep was not temporally correlated with the phasic activity characteristic of that state. These results corroborate and extend previous studies of the basal amygdaloid nuclei.
研究了自由活动猫杏仁核外侧核中58个细胞在睡眠-觉醒各阶段的神经元活动。总体而言，这些神经元在所有状态下放电都非常缓慢（平均放电率小于1次/秒），最高放电率通常出现在慢波睡眠和异相睡眠期间。大多数神经元在所有状态下都倾向于表现出一些爆发性活动。异相睡眠期间的爆发性活动在时间上与该状态的相位活动特征无关。这些结果证实并扩展了先前对基底杏仁核的研究。
