Abstract

It has been reported that reticular formation neurons in the brain stem and pons play important roles in the regulation of rapid eye movements. The present paper describes the roles of brain stem reticular neurons, such as pause neurons (PN), inhibitory burst neurons (IBN) and excitatory burst neurons (EBN) in cats. These reticular neurons, including vestibular nucleus neurons, make a feedback loop and regulate rapid eye movements.
