Abstract
Since Massion et al. 1 and Duron2, 3 have emphasized in the cat the important postural function of the external intercostal muscles a comparative study of the activity of the various respiratory muscles and the true postural muscles during sleep, especially REM sleep, seemed of some interest. Because of their anatomical position the external intercostal muscles cannot b e studied in man during sleep. Indeed the information obtained by surface electrodes, except for the interchondral muscles is much too uncertain to be usefully analyzed. For example the electric inspiratory activity detected on the lower intercostal spaces4, 5 is probably the manifestation of diaphragmatic activity only. For this reason we have made this study in the unrestrained cat with chronically implanted electrodes.
