The sequence of the bursts of neural activity during REM sleep is ____
A) lateral geniculate nucleus, pons, and occipital cortex
B) occipital cortex, pons, and lateral geniculate nucleus
C) pons, lateral geniculate nucleus, and occipital cortex

The sequence starts in the pons, moves to the lateral geniculate nucleus of the thalamus, and then to the occipital cortex. This pathway is consistent with the progression of neural signals during REM sleep, reflecting the brain's internal activity that contributes to dreaming.
