Description:
Human sleep is characterized by episodes of immobility punctuated by major postural shifts. The organization of this motor activity was shown with a combination of photographic and electroencephalographic recording to be periodic and related to the electroencephalographic sleep cycle. The amount of immobility as measured photographically was positively related to subjective estimates of the goodness of sleep.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hobson, J A -- Spagna, T -- Malenka, R -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1978 Sep 29;201(4362):1251-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/694515" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
