Fig. 19 : Permanent pattern of muscular activity in a syndrome of decerebration with pontine reticular lesion

Permanent pattern of muscular activity

Continuous recording during 9 h (from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.). The EMG activity (triceps brachialis) persists almost throughout the night, with only very short periodical disappearance, accompanied with slowing of EKG (note the tachycardia). Three other similar recordings have been made on this subject. Time scale: 4 min Same legend as in Fig. 18.
