Extracellular unit activity from 29 neurons in the preoptic area was recorded together with the cortical EEG in encéphale isolé cats. A majority (55%) of neurons showed alterations in their firing rates during transient changes in the EEG. Among them, a majority (62.5%) showed an increased firing rate during synchronization and the remaining showed an increased firing rate during desynchronization of the EEG. Most neurons showed a Poisson distribution pattern of firing during both the synchronized and the desynchronized phases of the EEG. The changes in the neuronal discharge occurring together with the specific changes in the cortical EEG fits in well with the assigned role of the preoptic area in the sleep-waking cycle.
在孤立脑猫中，记录了视前区29个神经元的细胞外单位活动以及皮层脑电图。大多数（55%）神经元在脑电图瞬态变化期间其放电频率发生改变。其中，大多数（62.5%）在脑电图同步化期间放电频率增加，其余的在脑电图去同步化期间放电频率增加。大多数神经元在脑电图的同步化和去同步化阶段均表现出泊松分布的放电模式。神经元放电的变化与皮层脑电图的特定变化同时出现，这与视前区在睡眠 - 觉醒周期中所起的作用非常吻合。
