Lack of normal muscular tension or tonus.
1Complete recovery of atonia was observed in one cat after 3 weeks.
2Results: Four patients with Alzheimer disease presented REM sleep with-out atonia.
3Muscle atonia and low-voltage desynchronized cortical activity during REM sleep did not change.
4Other experiments have focused on the muscle atonia of paradoxical sleep.
5Bilateral electrolytic lesions of the medial-lateral pontine tegmentum created a syndrome of REM sleep without atonia.
6Our results demonstrate the preferential involvement of adrenergic systems in the control of cataplexy and, presumably, REM sleep atonia.
7These results suggest that a cholinoceptive site in the BF is critically implicated in triggering muscle atonia and cataplexy.
8The hypothesis that cats exhibiting paradoxical sleep (PS) without atonia are more active than normal in wakefulness was tested.
9Much higher doses of carbachol bilaterally injected in the BF were, however, shown to trigger muscle atonia even in control dogs.
10Conclusion: Abnormal REM sleep atonia seemed to be a genuine effect of ALS pathology per se and correlated with the clinical severity of the disease.
