Single‐channel EEG classification of sleep stages based on REM microstructure
Rapid‐eye movement (REM) sleep, or paradoxical sleep, accounts for 20–25% of total night‐time sleep in healthy adults and may be related, in pathological cases, to parasomnias.

REM sleep without atonia with REM sleep–related motor events: broadening the spectrum of REM sleep behavior disorder [PDF]
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 ...

Characterization of Sleep Stages by Correlations of Heartbeat Increments
We study correlation properties of the magnitude and the sign of the increments in the time intervals between successive heartbeats during light sleep, deep sleep, and REM sleep using the detrended fluctuation analysis method.

Chronic escitalopram treatment attenuated the accelerated rapid eye movement sleep transitions after selective rapid eye movement sleep deprivation: a model-based analysis using Markov chains [PDF]
BackgroundShortened rapid eye movement (REM) sleep latency and increased REM sleep amount are presumed biological markers of depression. These sleep alterations are also observable in several animal models of depression as well as during the rebound ...

Actionable Wearables Data for the Neurology Clinic: A Proof‐of‐Concept Tool
ABSTRACT Objective Wearable devices can monitor key health and fitness domains. In multiple sclerosis (MS), monitoring step count and sleep is feasible, valid, and offers a holistic glimpse of patient functioning and worsening. However, data generated from wearables are typically unavailable at the point of care.

Antidepressant suppression of REM and spindle sleep impairs hippocampus-dependent learning and memory but fosters striatal-dependent strategies [PDF]
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 ...
