Molecular Mechanisms of REM Sleep
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.

Differential Effects of Psychological and Physical Stress on the Sleep Pattern in Rats [PDF]
, 2007 In the present study, we investigated the acute effects of 2 different kinds of stress, namely physical stress (foot shock) and psychological stress (non-foot shock) induced by the communication box method, on the sleep patterns of rats.

REM sleep in acutely traumatized individuals and interventions for the secondary prevention of post-traumatic stress disorder [PDF]
, 2020 Increasing evidence supports a close link between REM sleep and the consolidation of emotionally toned memories such as traumatic experiences. In order to investigate the role of sleep for the development of symptoms related to traumatic experiences ...

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

Coupled flip-flop model for REM sleep regulation in the rat.
PLoS ONE, 2014 Recent experimental studies investigating the neuronal regulation of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep have identified mutually inhibitory synaptic projections among REM sleep-promoting (REM-on) and REM sleep-inhibiting (REM-off) neuronal populations that ...

The primary function of REM sleep [PDF]
, 2006 In this paper, the physiological features associated with the different stages of REM sleep and with what information processing researchers have called “effort” and “arousal” are compared.

A continuum model for the dynamics of the phase transition from slow-wave sleep to REM sleep [PDF]
, 2010 Previous studies have shown that activated cortical states (awake and rapid eye-movement (REM) sleep), are associated with increased cholinergic input into the cerebral cortex.

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.

Evaluating the evidence surrounding pontine cholinergic involvement in REM sleep generation
Frontiers in Neurology, 2015 Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep - characterized by vivid dreaming, motor paralysis, and heightened neural activity - is one of the fundamental states of the mammalian central nervous system.

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.
