Mechanism For PGO Wave Generation and Propagation
The neurophysiological studies on PGO waves conclude that the generation of these waves reside in a collection of neurons located in the pons, regardless of species research is done on. From this point, the neurons branch out in a network that leads the phasic electrical signal toward the lateral geniculate nucleus and the occipital lobe.
Within this network, there are two types of neuronal groups: executive neurons and modulatory neurons.
