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.

A Hypothalamic Switch for REM and Non-REM Sleep [PDF]
Neuron, 2018 Rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM (NREM) sleep are controlled by specific neuronal circuits. Here we show that galanin-expressing GABAergic neurons in the dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMH) comprise separate subpopulations with opposing effects on REM versus NREM sleep.

Melanin-Concentrating Hormone (MCH): Role in REM Sleep and Depression. [PDF]
, 2015 The melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) is a peptidergic neuromodulator synthesized by neurons of the lateral sector of the posterior hypothalamus and zona incerta.

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.

Are there sleep-specific phenotypes in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome? A cross-sectional polysomnography analysis [PDF]
, 2013 Objectives: Despite sleep disturbances being a central complaint in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), evidence of objective sleep abnormalities from over 30 studies is inconsistent.

Daytime REM sleep affects emotional experience but not decision choices in moral dilemmas [PDF]
, 2017 Moral decision-making depends on the interaction between automatic emotional responses and rational cognitive control. A natural emotional regulator state seems to be sleep, in particular rapid eye movement (REM) sleep.

Is REM Density a Measure of Arousal during Sleep?
Brain Sciences, 2023 Rapid eye movements (REMs), an expression of REM sleep phasic activity, occur against a stable background of cortical desynchronization and the absence of axial tone. The significance of REMs during the sleep period was initially attributed to the mental

Evening light environments can be designed to consolidate and increase the duration of REM-sleep
Scientific Reports, 2022 Evening exposure to short-wavelength light has disruptive effects on circadian rhythms and sleep. These effects can be mitigated by blocking short-wavelength (blue) frequencies, which has led to the development of evening blue-depleted light environments

Optogenetic activation of cholinergic neurons in the PPT or LDT induces REM sleep [PDF]
, 2014 Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is an important component of the natural sleep/wake cycle, yet the mechanisms that regulate REM sleep remain incompletely understood.
