Single units, recorded in the medial medullary reticular formation (RF) in unrestrained, behaving cats, discharged in conjunction with specific movements and postures. Most cells were also active during REM [rapid eye movement] sleep. Discharge rates in active waking and REM sleep were positively correlated and discharge patterns in these states were similar. Activity in these cells is related to the motor activation occurring in both active waking and REM sleep. No cells were found whose discharge was related in a non-specific way to motor tone or to REM sleep atonia. Mechanisms are discussed by which medullary units with specific motor relations may give rise when stimulated to the relatively non-specific motor effects previously reported.
