| Abstract: | Fully developed nystagmus present in five Ss with congenital nystagmus while awake with eyes open or closed did not appear during the REM or non-REM sleep phases. However, rapid conjugate eye movements were present during REM sleep in all five Ss, and could not be distinguished from the patterns recognized in normal subjects. |
