Increased cortical excitability after selective REM sleep deprivation in healthy humans: a transcranial magnetic stimulation study [PDF]
, 2013 REM sleep has antiepileptogenic properties whereas, its loss is known to have a proconvulsive role. However, the mechanisms underlying the proepileptogenic effects of REM sleep deprivation are yet not fully understood.

Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH): a new sleep factor?
Frontiers in Neurology, 2011 Neurons that utilize the neuropeptide melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) as a neuromodulator are mainly located in the lateral hypothalamus and the incerto-hypothalamic area, and have widespread projections throughout the brain.

Antidepressant suppression of REM and spindle sleep impairs hippocampus-dependent learning and memory but fosters striatal-dependent strategies [PDF]
, 2011 REM sleep enhances hippocampus-dependent associative memory but has little impact on striatal-dependent procedural learning. Antidepressant medications like desipramine (DMI) inhibit rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep but it is little understood how ...

REM sleep without atonia with REM sleep–related motor events: broadening the spectrum of REM sleep behavior disorder [PDF]
Sleep, 2018 To assess the presence of increased REM-related motor activity during sleep, by questionnaires for REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD), in participants with "isolated" REM sleep without atonia (RWA).Two hundred forty-nine patients were consecutively enrolled, with age ≥18 years, sharing bedroom with a roommate, and without a severe health, neurological ...

Effects of valerian extract on the sleep-wake cycle in sleep-disturbed rats. [PDF]
, 2005 The present study was performed to investigate the effects of valerian extract on the sleep-wake cycle using sleep-disturbed model rats. A significant shortening in sleep latency was observed with valerian extract at doses of 1000 and 3000 mg/kg.

Loss of REM sleep features across nighttime in REM sleep behavior disorder [PDF]
Sleep Medicine, 2016 Melatonin is a chronobiotic treatment which also alleviates rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD). Because the mechanisms of this benefit are unclear, we evaluated the clock-dependent REM sleep characteristics in patients with RBD, whether idiopathic (iRBD) or associated with Parkinson's Disease (PD), and we compared findings with PD ...
