TI  - Dynamic relation of sleep spindles and K-complexes to spontaneous phasic arousal 
      in sleeping human subjects.
PG  - 58-72
AB  - K-complexes unaccompanied by sleep spindles (K0-complexes) and isolated sleep 
      spindles during stage 2, non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep were examined before 
      and after transient activation phase (AP) and also pseudo-AP during human sleep 
      to determine the relationship of K0-complexes and sleep spindles to APs. Sixteen 
      sleep records obtained from 16 young adult males were scanned for isolated APs 
      during stage 2 NREM sleep. One hundred APs and 62 pseudo-APs were identified and 
      analyzed. The number of sleep spindles decreased and reached its minimum at the 
      onset of APs, when an increase was observed in the number of K0-complexes. APs 
      occurred when a decrease in sleep spindles was coupled with an increased 
      incidence of K0-complexes, thus forming an antagonistic relation. A similar 
      antagonism was observed between sleep spindles and slow waves. A working 
      hypothesis was formulated to interpret a triad of sleep events: sleep spindles. 
      K0-complexes, and slow wave sleep. Three kinds of sleep--REM, spindles-dominant, 
      and slow-wave-dominant--are suggested as more useful classifications than the 
      Rechtschaffen and Kales categories.
