Abstract

Recently, 1/f fluctuations have been discovered in the single-unit activity of mesencephalic reticular formation (MRF) neurons during REM sleep. In a previous paper, such behavior could satisfyingly be interpreted on the basis of the clustering Poisson process. The question of applicability of this model to other MRF neurons remained unanswered. The present paper reports on 1/f fluctuations in 12 MRF neurons all of which can satisfyingly be modeled by the clustering Poisson process.
