Paradoxical sleep deprivation increases plasma endothelin levels [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2002 The endothelins (ET-1, 2 and 3) constitute a family of 21 amino acid peptides with potent biological activities. ET-1 is one of the most potent endogenous vasoconstrictors so far identified and its increased concentration in plasma appears to be closely ...

Sleep pattern and learning in knockdown mice with reduced cholinergic neurotransmission
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2013 Impaired cholinergic neurotransmission can affect memory formation and influence sleep-wake cycles (SWC). In the present study, we describe the SWC in mice with a deficient vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT) system, previously characterized as ...

Under the spell of Tokyo [PDF]
lo Squaderno, 2023 Many authors have noticed and commented on the hypnotic power of cinema. Halfway between wakefulness and sleep, the spectator is placed in a paradoxical state, in a second state of hallucina- tion, trance, abandonment, fascination.

Comparative Perspectives that Challenge Brain Warming as the Primary Function of REM Sleep
iScience, 2020 Summary: Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is a paradoxical state of wake-like brain activity occurring after non-REM (NREM) sleep in mammals and birds.

Stress-induced sleep rebound: adaptive behavior and possible mechanisms
Sleep Science, 2009 The role of stress as a triggering factor for insomnia is widely accepted. However, not everybody who is submitted to a stressful event develops insomnia, which indicates that it depends on individual vulnerability.

Abnormal electrophysiological phenotypes and sleep deficits in a mouse model of Angelman Syndrome
Molecular Autism, 2021 Background Angelman Syndrome (AS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by impaired communication, motor and balance deficits, intellectual disabilities, recurring seizures and abnormal sleep patterns. The genetic cause of AS is neuronal-specific loss

Wide-spread brain activation and reduced CSF flow during avian REM sleep
Nature Communications, 2023 Mammalian sleep has been implicated in maintaining a healthy extracellular environment in the brain. During wakefulness, neuronal activity leads to the accumulation of toxic proteins, which the glymphatic system is thought to clear by flushing cerebral ...
