During REM sleep and waking, the neurons show a partial depolarization and the discharge occurs in the single spike mode.

During nonREM sleep thalamocortical neurons
are tonically hyperpolarized and discharge in the burst mode.
During REM sleep and waking, the neurons show a partial depolarization and the discharge occurs in the single spike mode. |
