TL;DR
The literature on the development of spindles in normal and mentally retarded children is reviewed and sleep-wake parameters indicate characteristic ontogenetic features.
Abstract
In neonates and infants, sleep-wake parameters indicate characteristic ontogenetic features. Sleep spindle activity also changes with maturation in terms of frequency, amplitude, and amount. For this reason, spindles are one of the useful indices of cerebral function in infants. The literature on the development of spindles in normal and mentally retarded children is reviewed.

Examination of the distributions of EEG patterns within each state indicated progressively distinct relationships between state and EEG pattern with maturation, and determination of conceptional age and neurological maturation was based on these relationships.

EEG polygraph recordings of 1 to over 4 h duration were obtained during daytime sleeps weekly from birth to 11-13 weeks of age in 17 normal full-term newborns, allowing more precise specification of the time courses of early developmental changes in EEG patterns related to the sleep cycle.

Establishing normative data will allow greater inter-study reliability, and form the basis for other prospective studies of infants 'at risk' to investigate whether those that lag behind the norm in these indices when followed serially during the newborn period differ prognostically from those who recover and reach expected norms for conceptional age.

The orbital region of the cortex in the cat is essential to the occurrence of spontaneous spindle bursts and thalamically induced recruiting responses, observed in both cortex and thalamus.

Overall attainment of "infantile" EEG sleep patterns occurred at 35--60 days post term for the permature group and at 27--66 days for the full-term group (difference not significant); these findings indicate that no significant errors will be made in clinical practice by applying the same maturational criteria to the post-term EEGs of prematures as to theEEGs of full- term infants.
