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 ...

A moderate increase of physiological CO2 in a critical range during stable NREM sleep episode: A potential gateway to REM sleep

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.

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.

Rapid eye movements during sleep in mice: High trait-like stability qualifies rapid eye movement density for characterization of phenotypic variation in sleep patterns of rodents

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.

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.

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.

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.
