Abstract
Robert Koch (1843-1910) discovered the causal agents for tuberculosis, chol era, and anthrax. The 1905 Nobel Prize acknowledged Koch's criteria for ide ntifying the causal agent of an infectious disease. These criteria remain u seful and the data reviewed below show that the cholinergic contributions t o REM sleep control are confirmed by Koch's postulates.
