Fronto-central slow cortical activity is attenuated during phasic events in rapid eye movement sleep at full-term birth.

ABSTRACT: Delta and theta power across fronto-central regions is lower during phasic (saccadic eye movements) than tonic rapid eye movement (active) sleep in full-term infants (n = 15). This indicates that the behavioural-electrophysiological pillars of rapid eye movement sleep micro-architecture are in place at birth.
