Abstract
Preoptic area has neurons which change their firing rate along with spontaneous alterations of the cortical EEG between synchronization and desynchronization. The cortical EEG synchronization and desynchronization could be induced by stimulation of the caudal and the rostral brain stem respectively. This study was aimed at finding out whether stimulation of the brain stem structures produce the same change in the unit activity as that occurring during spontaneous alteration of the EEG. The changes in unit activity showed some concordance and dissociation between spontaneous and induced EEG alterations. The possible interaction of inputs from cortex and brain stem at the level of the preoptic area is discussed.
