REM sleep: a biological and psychological paradox.
Sleep and rest can be satisfactorily explained as adaptive states1,2 whose core function is energy conservation and behavioral regulation. In addition to these functions, certain recuperative processes may be accomplished within sleep. However, the adaptive role of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep remains a complete mystery. The high levels of brain metabolic demand and attenuation of homeostatic...
متن کاملNon-rem Sleep Stage Transitions Control Rem Sleep Rhythm
1423 Stage Transition Mechanism for Ultradian Rhythm—Kishi et al neurons themselves. Although further modifications of the original reciprocal interaction model, e.g., the incorporation of selfinhibitory cholinergic autoreceptors and excitatory interactions between cholinergic and non-cholinergic REM-on neurons, have been proposed over the past 30 years with new findings of synaptic details of ...
متن کاملDreaming without REM sleep.
To test whether mental activities collected from non-REM sleep are influenced by REM sleep, we suppressed REM sleep using clomipramine 50mg (an antidepressant) or placebo in the evening, in a double blind cross-over design, in 11 healthy young men. Subjects were awakened every hour and asked about their mental activity. The marked (81%, range 39-98%) REM-sleep suppression induced by clomipramin...
متن کاملParkinsonian tremor loses its alternating aspect during non-REM sleep and is inhibited by REM sleep.
Non-REM sleep transforms the waking alternating Parkinsonian tremor into subclinical repetitive muscle contractions whose amplitude and duration decrease as non-REM sleep progresses from stages I to IV. During REM sleep Parkinsonian tremor disappears while the isolated muscle events increase significantly.
متن کاملChallenging sleep homeostasis in narcolepsy-cataplexy: implications for non-REM and REM sleep regulation.
STUDY OBJECTIVES We recently proposed insufficient non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREMS) intensity to contribute to disturbed nocturnal sleep in patients with narcolepsy-cataplexy (NC). To test this hypothesis, we investigated the effect of physiologically intensified NREMS in recovery sleep following sleep deprivation. DESIGN Nocturnal baseline and recovery sleep architecture, and the sleep e...
