Abstract
The term "Ctenoids" is proposed for the pattern of 14- and 6-per-second positive spiking. The incidence of ctenoids during drowsiness or sleep in a group of presumably healthy 13-, 14-, and 15-year-old boys was 58%. In this control group no correlation was detected between the appearance of ctenoids and the clinical complaints usually associated with them. Future work on their clinical correlates, to be meaningful, should relate the ratio of their occurrence to the duration of sleep. It is conceivable that almost everyone in this age group would show one or more ctenoids if the duration of the sleep tracing were sufficiently extended.
