Become free-running

Nocturnal animals are usually asleep during the

Electrical stimulation of the reticular formation leads to immediate

awakening

The pattern of sleep in elderly humans is characterized by increases in

awakenings.

The type of rhythmicity characterized by the regular, predictable onset of a particular behavior once a day is called

circadian.

The type of rhythmicity characterized by the regular, predictable onset of a particular behavior once a year is called

slow-wave sleep (SWS).

In humans, somnambulism usually occurs during

stage 3 SWS

The cortical EEG pattern of the isolated forebrain animal is characterized by

sustained SWS.

A lesion made to the reticular formation will result in a cortical EEG pattern of

sustained sleep.
