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.

Neural and Homeostatic Regulation of REM Sleep
Frontiers in Psychology, 2020 Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is a distinct, homeostatically controlled brain state characterized by an activated electroencephalogram (EEG) in combination with paralysis of skeletal muscles and is associated with vivid dreaming.

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 ...

Sleep architecture when sleeping at an unusual circadian time and associations with insulin sensitivity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Circadian misalignment affects total sleep time, but it may also affect sleep architecture. The objectives of this study were to examine intra-individual effects of circadian misalignment on sleep architecture and inter-individual relationships between ...

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 ...

Discovery of key whole-brain transitions and dynamics during human wakefulness and non-REM sleep
Nature Communications, 2019 The modern understanding of sleep is based on the classification of sleep into stages defined by their electroencephalography (EEG) signatures, but the underlying brain dynamics remain unclear. Here we aimed to move significantly beyond the current state-

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.
