Molecular Mechanisms of REM Sleep [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020 Rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep is a paradoxical sleep state characterized by brain activity similar to wakefulness, rapid-eye-movement, and lack of muscle tone.

Role of corticosterone on sleep homeostasis induced by REM sleep deprivation in rats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Sleep is regulated by humoral and homeostatic processes. If on one hand chronic elevation of stress hormones impair sleep, on the other hand, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep deprivation induces elevation of glucocorticoids and time of REM sleep during the

A moderate increase of physiological CO2 in a critical range during stable NREM sleep episode: A potential gateway to REM sleep [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2012 Sleep is characterized as rapid eye movement (REM) and non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. Studies suggest that wake-related neurons in the basal forebrain, posterior hypothalamus and brainstem and NREM sleep-related neurons in the anterior-hypothalamic

A predictive propensity measure to enter REM sleep [PDF]
Frontiers in NeuroscienceIntroductionDuring sleep periods, most mammals alternate multiple times between rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep and non-REM (NREM) sleep. A common theory proposes that these transitions are governed by an “hourglass-like” homeostatic need to enter REM ...

Rapid eye movements during sleep in mice: High trait-like stability qualifies rapid eye movement density for characterization of phenotypic variation in sleep patterns of rodents [PDF]
BMC Neuroscience, 2011 Background In humans, rapid eye movements (REM) density during REM sleep plays a prominent role in psychiatric diseases. Especially in depression, an increased REM density is a vulnerability marker for depression.

Isolated Rem Sleep Behavior Disorder: A Model to Assess the Overnight Habituation of Emotional Reactivity [PDF]
Clocks & Sleep(1) Background: Phasic events in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep are a core feature of isolated REM behavior disorder (iRBD), which is often associated with emotion dysregulation.

REM Sleep and Endothermy: Potential Sites and Mechanism of a Reciprocal Interference [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2017 Numerous data show a reciprocal interaction between REM sleep and thermoregulation. During REM sleep, the function of thermoregulation appears to be impaired; from the other hand, the tonic activation of thermogenesis, such as during cold exposure ...

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 sector of the posterior hypothalamus and zona incerta.

Emotional arousal modulates oscillatory correlates of targeted memory reactivation during NREM, but not REM sleep [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is considered to preferentially reprocess emotionally arousing memories. We tested this hypothesis by cueing emotional vs.

REM sleep at its core—Circuits, neurotransmitters and pathophysiology
Frontiers in Neurology, 2015 REM sleep is generated and maintained by the interaction of a variety of neurotransmitter systems in the brainstem, forebrain and hypothalamus. Within these circuits lies a core region that is active during REM sleep, known as the subcoeruleus nucleus ...
