[Generation of Ponto-Geniculo-Occipital (PGO) waves as a possible reason of disturbances in visual perception in microsleep].

A hypothesis is put forward that one of the reasons for disturbances in visual perception during microsleep could be a spontaneous generation of Ponto-Geniculo-Occipital (PGO) waves. If the PGO waves are generated in microsleep, they could propagate into different thalamic nuclei conveying visual infomation. Consequently, a propagation of visual infonnation from the retina (if the eyes are opened) to visual neocortical areas and to input basal ganglia nucleus, striatum could be impaired. According to previously proposed mechanism of visual processing, which includes visual attention, in absence of striatum activation by a visual stimulus, a disinhibition through the basal ganglia of superior colliculus that transfer visual information to dopaminergic structures becomes impossible. Due to absence of dopamine release in response to visual stimulus, the attention to this stimulus cannot start, and therefore its processing worsens in all visual cortical areas. The suggested hypothesis could be verified in experiments with artificially evoked microsleep using non-invasive methods for searching for the correlates of the PGO activity presence in the brain.
