Sleep pattern and learning in knockdown mice with reduced cholinergic neurotransmission [PDF]
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 ...

Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH): role in REM sleep and depression [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2015 The melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) is a peptidergic neuromodulator synthesized by neurons of the lateral hypothalamus and incerto-hypothalamic area. MCHergic neurons project throughout the central nervous system, including areas such as the dorsal (

Ventromedial medulla inhibitory neuron inactivation induces REM sleep without atonia and REM sleep behavior disorder [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2018 Loss of muscle tone is a distinguishing feature of paradoxical or REM sleep (PS) and is disrupted in REM sleep behavior disorder. Here the authors report that GABA/glycine inhibitory neurons in the ventromedial medulla are essential for producing PS ...

Severe, Non-apneic Respiratory Dysfunction and Hypoxia following Generalized Convulsive Seizures. [PDF]
Ann NeurolObjective Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is a devastating consequence of some generalized convulsive seizures (GCS). Recent work has focused on seizure related apnea as a biomarker of SUDEP risk, frequently without characterizing the adequacy of non‐apneic ventilation or identifying other dysfunctional breathing patterns.

Paradoxical Sleep Mechanisms [PDF]
Sleep, 1994 A review of the effects of brain-stem transections, carbachol microinjections and lesions does not show that the pons is necessary and sufficient for paradoxical sleep (PS) generation. The different theories that explain the mechanisms of PS rebound are summarized.

Sleep Education for Paradoxical Insomnia [PDF]
Behavioral Sleep Medicine, 2011 This case study series investigated a new treatment for paradoxical insomnia patients as there is no standard treatment for this patient group at this time. Four paradoxical insomnia patients had a polysomnography (PSG) sleep study, an unsuccessful brief course of behavioral treatment for insomnia, and then a novel sleep education treatment comprising ...

Reality in quantum mechanics, Extended Everett Concept, and consciousness [PDF]
, 2006 Conceptual problems in quantum mechanics result from the specific quantum concept of reality and require, for their solution, including the observer's consciousness into quantum theory of measurements.

The Journal of Physiology, 2000 In this issue of The Journal of Physiology, Morrell et al. report their findings from a study of the response of human subjects to inspiratory resistive loading during sleep and wakefulness. At issue is a question of physiology in sleep that is important for understanding the pathophysiology of the obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome. These patients, and

Phenotype-based and Self-learning Inter-individual Sleep Apnea Screening with a Level IV Monitoring System [PDF]
, 2018 Purpose: We propose a phenotype-based artificial intelligence system that can self-learn and is accurate for screening purposes, and test it on a Level IV monitoring system. Methods: Based on the physiological knowledge, we hypothesize that the phenotype
