Disorders of Motor Control and Sleep

摘要: Sleep is physiologically characterized by a prominent reduction in muscular activity. Experimental experience with laboratory animals has helped define the relevant neural mechanisms underlying motor inhibition during different stages of sleep. Major advances pathophysiology control sleep have been brought about widespread use video-polysomnographic recordings clinical setting. Thus, principal physiological accompaniments outlined man, and several conditions nosological categories disorders delineated. In this short survey main arising we shall summarize our patients presenting at Centre for Disorders Institute Neurology University Bologna, where Polysomnographic studies under audiovisual monitoring going on last thirty years. We deal particular phenomena which are observed normal humans sleep: so-called nocturnal myoclonus or periodic limb movements restless legs syndrome; cramps; recently-identified propriospinal its peculiar relation to relaxation phase prior The preceding all occur non-rapid eye movement (NRem) stages. also discuss Rem behaviour instead typical rapid (Rem)
