Rapid Eye Movement Sleep
• Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep was first identified by its most obvious feature: rapid eye movements occurring during sleep. In most adult mammals the electroencephalogram (EEG) of the neocortex is low in voltage during REM sleep. The hippocampus exhibits regular high-voltage theta waves throughout REM sleep. • The key brain structure for generating REM sleep is the brainstem, particularly th...
متن کاملBiochemical regulation of non-rapid-eye-movement sleep.
The concept, that sleep regulatory substances (sleep factors) exist, stems from classical endocrinology and is supported by positive transfer experiments in which tissue fluids obtained from sleepy or sleeping animals elicited sleep when injected into recipient animals. The transfer experiments concluded with the identification of four sleep factors: delta sleep-inducing peptide (DSIP), uridine...
متن کاملThe function of fetal/neonatal rapid eye movement sleep.
The hypothesis is put forward that rapid eye movement (REM) sleep in early life serves as (1) an indicator for the degree of brain maturation and (2) the promoter of further brain development. This hypothesis, although not exclusive, differs (a) from the theory of Roffwarg et al. that REM sleep substitutes for 'wakefulness' during the period (early life) in which wakefulness is limited, (b) fro...
متن کاملRapid eye movement sleep and general anesthesia.
To the Editor: I read with great interest the article by Leslie et al. describing the electroencephalographic correlates of dreaming during anesthesia. Their conclusion that traits of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep are expressed during emergence from anesthesia is provocative. It is of historical interest to note that a common mechanism of dreaming during both sleep and anesthesia was predicted...
