Twitches emerge postnatally during quiet sleep in human infants and are synchronized with sleep spindles

2021-02-18

Abstract excerpt

<h4> S ummary </h4> In humans and other mammals, the stillness of sleep is punctuated by bursts of rapid eye movements (REMs) and myoclonic twitches of the limbs [1]. Contrary to the notion that twitches are mere by-products of dreams, sensory feedback arising from twitching limbs provides a rich and unique source of activation to the developing sensorimotor system [2]. In fact, it is partly because of the beha...
