Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The eye movements observed during REM sleep are the most distinctive characteristics of this state. In the study of preterm-birth infants born at 32-36 weeks, REM sleep activity correlates with cognitive development when assessed at six months of age, and provides an indicator of developmental prognosis. The present study aimed to clarify REM period activity, including EM density and EM bursts in fetuses with a gestational age between 24 and 38 weeks. The study population consisted of 64 normal singleton pregnancies. Fetal EMs were monitored using real-time ultrasonography for 60-min. Both EM density and EM burst density increased between 24-25 and 38-39 weeks of gestation. At least, two critical points were found in EM density and EM burst density with statistical significance. Since fetal REM activity provides an indicator of central nervous system function, the assessment of EMs and EM burst activity might aid developmental prognosis.
