76. On the other hand, cells that were silent during the behavioral task did not show the increase in frequency. Such activation of zif-268, which is likely to be correlated with the effect of learning on desynchronized sleep, was larger in the frontal and hippocampal cortices, where memorization is well known to occur. An official website of the United States government. 103. J Physiol (London) 1993;461:549-63. Figure 6 shows an increase in heart rate from 150 bpm to 180 bpm (the latter is the normal heart rate during resting wakefulness in this species), coinciding with the peak of eye movements. Vertes & Eastman (2000), for instance, believe that the stressful conditions in experiments intended to demonstrate a role of desynchronized sleep and dreaming in consolidation of memory spoil the results (88). Brain Mechanism and Perceptual Awareness. Brainstem control of the events of REM sleep. Hobson JA, Pace-Schott EF, Stickgold R. Dreaming and the brain: toward a cognitive neuroscience of conscious states. 120. The form and content of dreams is not random but organized and selective: during dreaming, the brain constructs a complex model of the world in which certain types of elements, when compared to waking life, are 119. Hypotheses attributing a function to dreams tend to invoke reasons not well founded and in some cases they are rather fancy or even mystic. Berlucchi G. Mechanismen von Schlafen und Wachen. Raven Press, New york 1981:405-429. On Sleep and Dreams. Later, school and work dominate the mental field and the main features in dreams also change accordingly, supporting this hypothesis. 12. Our data with rats are quite consistent as to the variation of blood pressure and heart rate during oniric activity. Brain 1997;120:1173-97. Time course of foslike immunoreactivity associated with cholinergically induced REM sleep. World Fed Sleep Res Soc Newsletter 1997;5:22-3. When only one side of the reticular formation is also destroyed, the same pattern of recovery does occur; if the other side of the reticular formation is also destroyed after two or three weeks, recovery of wakefulness and desynchronized sleep is even faster than when both sides are lesioned at the same time. Magoun HW, Rhines R. An inhibitory mechanism in the bulbar reticular formation. Miyauchi et al. 109. While the how and why of dreaming may be explored using physiological and biological methods, dreaming is also a subjective experience involving a form of mentation that can offer representations of an individual's internal world. Curr Opin Neurobiol 1992;2:759-63. The oscillation of the sleep depth as cycles, as is well known presently, is quite clear in this figure. J Physiol (Paris) 1984;79:365-74. Intermediate state of sleep in the cat. Nature 1996;383:163-6. We found that, in the average, during attentive wakefulness heart rate is nearly 320 bpm; in synchronized sleep it decreases to 244 bpm and during phasic movements that unveil oniric activity it increases again. It is most likely an elementary brain activity in homeotherms and thus, if dreaming has a function, it probably plays a similar role in the human brain and in nonhuman brains as well. Vertes RP, Kocsis B. Brainstem-diencephalo-septohippocampal systems controlling the theta rhythm of the hippocampus. Physiol Behav 1974;12:293-5. Modifications of recurrent discharge of the alpha motoneurons during sleep. This allows us to see the irrational as a normal event, while emotional processing and symbolic identities can be explored. Bol Inst Est Md Biol Mxico 1962;20:155-64. Moruzzi G. Sleep and instinctive behavior. WebPhysiological function Theory regular brain stimulation from REM sleep may help develop and preserve neural pathways. The site is secure. The caudalmost portion of this system (then labeled descending hypnogenic cholinergic) comprises the ventral and dorsal Gudden's nuclei, whose stimulation with carbachol triggered sleep in nearly 20 seconds. 65. Soja PJ, Lopez-Rodriguez F, Morales FR, Chase MH. The authors concluded that the correlation they found was probably involved in memory consolidation but such coincidence may indicate that during dreaming memorized information is being revoked to integrate a given dreaming pattern. Considering dreams as hallucinations, Hernndez-Pen (1966) theorized that they are possible because the system responsible for wakefulness is inactivated during sleep, releasing memory tracings which are brought to consciousness. Federal government websites often end in .gov or .mil. Sleep Res 1973;4:65. In 1944 Obhlmeyer, Brilmayer & Uhlstrung (10) observed that in humans penile erection occurs during sleep at intervals of 85 minutes, which is the average duration of a sleep cycle. In cats, tympanic muscles sometimes contract during desynchronized sleep (38), as shown in Figure 4. The authors suggest that such a disturbance of reproduction occurs because desynchronized sleep (and consequently dreaming) was prevented to occur normally in infancy but the functional meaning of this interesting phenomenon. Electroencerph Clin Neurophysiol 1964;17:617-29. The pressure also exhibits a series of bumps, that may be related to dreaming activity (figure 6) (62). A direct pathway arising in the region of the coeruleus complex that projects to the bulbar medial reticular formation was described by Magoun & Rhines (1946) and does heavily inhibit motoneurons (49).

Sleep 1999;22:409-18. When the rat moves the head, for example (which may indicate a vestibular dream), heart rate goes up and may be as high as 330 bpm, similar to that occurring during attentive behavior. Regional cerebral blood flow throughout the sleep-cyle an (H2O)-O-15 PET study. Moruzzi G. Active processes in the brain stem during sleep. No wonder that most dreams in humans have a visual component, explaining the reason why eye movements occur in any kind of dream, alone or as part of non-visual dreams. At the age between 7 and 9 years Foulkes' subjects produced much more consistent narrations of the dream content, as should be expected (24). Activity of the red nucleus during deep, desynchronized sleep in the unrestrained cat. Inasmuch as all this relevant knowledge is entirely ignored, we hope the present review may help in rescuing it (4). 2021 Aug 30;24(2):543. doi: 10.4081/ripppo.2021.543. ), Brainstem Mechanisms of Behavior. Sleep and dreaming: induction and mediation of REM sleep by cholinergic mechanisms. During the medieval era in Spain, by then the very cultural center of Europe (probably of the entire world), and mainly in the 13th century, some Muslim Arabs and Jewish rabis, centered in Cordoba rediscovered the Greek literature, that had been concealed by early Christianism, and translated all that important work into Latin, Arabic and Hebraic. Eye movements in born-blinds are probably due to a quite different reason. Oka T, Iwakiri H, Mori S. Pontine-induced generalized suppression of postural muscle tone in a reflexively standing acute decerebrate cat. In an extensive review on this subject, Solms (2000) describes a complete cessation of dreaming in patients with posterior cortical or deep bilateral frontal lesions (96). Hernndez-Pen R, Ibarra GC, Morgane PJ, Timo-Iaria C. Limbic cholinergic pathways involved in sleep and emotional behavior. Fenn WO, Hursh JB. In fact, all the phases of wakefulness and sleep, including desynchronized sleep, occur in the cerebellar cortex. Gassel MM, Marchiafava PL, Pompeiano O. Esquirol, one of the French psychiatrists who started the revolution that changed the ancient (an cruel) view of the mental diseases, spent several hours at night observing how his patients behaved during sleep and concluded that their movements while asleep were related to their dreams, just as Aristotle had found long ago. During the nineteenth century several physiologists and neuropsychiatrists tried to understand the mechanisms and meaning of dreams. The reason for such vegetative adjustments is obviously that the nervous tissue is metabolically very demanding, so much so that 20% of the inspired oxygen goes to the nervous system. The preferential eye movements direction may be related to the dream content and, perhaps, as such also to hemispheric dominance but it should always be taken into consideration that any movement originated by a dream is always faulty, otherwise we would perform normal behaviors during a dream, what does not happen due to the inhibition of motoneurons. activation-synthesis. Ribeiro S, Goyal V, Mello CV, Pavlides C. Brain gene expression during REM sleep depends on prior waking experience. Eye movements in humans predominate because vision is our main sensory channel and our visual memory is overwhelmingly predominant, resulting in preponderance of visual dreams. Several theories claim that dreaming is a random by-product of REM sleep physiology and that it does not serve any natural function. Interestingly enough, if body temperature in cats subjected to pontomesencephalic transection is lowered, the amount of desynchronized sleep increases. Electroencephalogr Clin Neurophysiol 1997;102:125-31. Matsuyama K, Kobaysahi y, Takakusaki M, Mosi S, Kimuta H. Termination mode and branching patterns of reticuloreticular and reticulospinal fibers of the nucleus reticularis pontis oralis in the cat: an anterograde PHA-L tracing study. Later, theta waves were also found in rats during both attentive wakefulness and desynchronized sleep (19,30,31,74-76). Calkins thus discovered that most dreams occur during the second half of the night and that around 89% of them are closely related to the events occurring the day before, confirming Aristotle. (eds.) Timo-Iaria C. Early research on dreaming. Would you like email updates of new search results? 14. Arch Psychiat Nervenkrankh 1938;109:1-17. eCollection 2020. In addition, zif-268 is up-regulated in several novelty or learning behavioral paradigms, including two-way active avoidance (104), brightness discrimination (105), and enriched environment exposure (106). Arch Ital Biol 1965;103:25-44. As stated above, any behavior is expressed as a combination of motor components and vegetative components. Roffwarg HP, Adrien J, Herman J, Pessah M, Spiro R, Bowe-Anders C. The middle ear muscle activity in the neurophysiology and psychophysiology of the REM state. In this review, the neural circuits underlying dreaming and the physiological functions associated with it are summarized. During dreaming, however, it is well known that both heart rate and blood pressure undergo short duration increases (as related to the decreased values), which are most likely linked to the oniric behavior. (1962) clearly demonstrated that in the cat blood diastolic pressure falls deeply to around 60 mmHg, beginning as soon as the electrocorticogram starts to desynchronize. De Sanctis S. I Sogni e il Sonno. Kohyama T, Hori A, Sato T, Nikami T, yamaki T, Veda S. Changes in cerebral blood flow velocity in healthy young men during overnight sleep and while awake. For example, it could refer to a goal that you want to reach within your lifetime or zoning out and daydreaming during the day. Metabolism during desynchronized sleep tends, in fact, to be equal to or even larger than that of waking (131,132). This is for sure the most enigmatic issue about dreaming. Desynchronization is the rule, during this phase, in all cortical electro-oscillograms in humans and other primates. The discovery of REM sleep kickstarted a flurry of scientific research into the mechanisms of the sleeping brain. Hippocrates and Alkmaeon, who discovered that the mind is in the brain, not in the heart, knew that dreams were originated in the brain. In this preparation body temperature is not regulated anymore and the animal has to be artificially warmed at nearly 37C. Behav Brain Sci 2000;23:867-76. As any information consciously identified, a dream triggers a specific behavior, that we call an oniric behavior. Jouvet M. The role of monoamines and acetylcholine-containing neurons in the regulation of the sleep-waking cycle. This may be related to the presence of pet animals in most families in the Western countries and consequently this "subject" probably becomes the main thought of children. Theta waves, discovered by Jung and Kornmller in 1938 (72), were extensively studied by Green & Arduini (73), who proved they are related to arousal. 43. Jouvet M.

C R S Soc Biol (Paris) 1964;158:99-103. Hodes R, Dement WC. Thanks to the extraordinary possibilities of functional connections that take place in the brain when the "basic circuitries of our personality are programmed", dreams do contribute to shape new solutions for new problems. The reason why when we dream we are walking we do not get out of the bed and really walk, or when we dream we are talking to someone we do not really talk, is that neural circuits located in the neighborhood of locus coeruleus, in the pontine tegmentum, inhibit the motoneurons and do not allow the real movements to occur. Van de Castle RL. According to this author, in children at the age of two, when the hippocampus, which is still in the process of development at birth, becomes functional, REM sleep takes on its interpretive memory function (134). In nocturnal macrosmatic animals, olfaction is the predominant sensory channel and their vibrissae are usually very long, to detect the presence of objects at relatively large distances. Wehr TA. As any neural information, it has to be analyzed, so that the nervous impulses, which carry it be decoded and integrated as a specific neural configuration, that contains all the information released (or revoked) from the mnemonic archives. (eds.) A related point of view was put forward by Krueger & Obal (1993), who proposed that, on the basis of use-dependent synaptic stabilization, the neuronal assembly not activated during wakefulness will be activated during sleep, to prevent it from atrophy (117). 93. Experientia 1964;20:1-3. Electrophysiological manifestations of wakefulness and desynchronized sleep in the rat. Jouvet (12,119), one of the most important researchers on sleep, suggests that dreaming is "a guardian and programmer of the hereditary part of our personality" and as such it plays a role in our general behavior. In addition, blood flow velocity in the middle cerebral artery decreases during synchronized sleep whereas in desynchronized sleep it is similar to that occurring in waking (133). A theory that has many followers is the one that connects dreams, in particular, desynchronized sleep in general, with memory consolidation. 110. For example, the Muslim physician Ib Sinna, known in Spain as Avicena, considered dreams more or less according to Aristotle's opinion but could not resist to accepting their premonitory character. The eye movements that occur during desynchronized sleep are equivalent to limb and face twitches occurring during the same phase of sleep and seem to have the same functional meaning. Brain warning function for REM-sleep. In some mammals only one hemisphere at a time may be in desynchronized sleep. By comparing the program with the peripheral information, that tells it how the behavior is evolving, the cerebellum produces corrections, so that the execution can match the program. 42.

R. & Vertes, R. P. 69. According to Mancia (1995), the brain "produces dreams" as "a symbolic process of elaborating, interpreting and reorganizing in narrative sequences all the material accumulated in the memory during waking hours". Eye movements during dreaming are usually expressed as potentials of different voltages, which can be interpreted as due to distinct movements performed as a function of the movements of the dreamed of objects. eCollection 2017. The most prominent, the activation-synthesis hypothesis, derived its view of dreaming directly from the neurophysiology of REM sleep, in particular the role of the brain stem, and in its original form regarded dreams as not essentially meaningful.

Problems with Physiological function Theory This does In: M. C. Hepp-Reymond & G. Marini (eds.) The function of dreaming Theories on the function of REM sleep and dreaming, with which it has a contingent relationship, remain diverse. They include facilitation of memory storage, reverse learning, anatomical and functional brain maturation, catecholamine restoration, psychoanalytical (wish fulfilment or otherwise). It i 18. Such a recovery means that other mechanisms are put into action that are able to generate not only wakefulness but desynchronized sleep as well. Some of his statements, hereby reproduced in a simplified form from his book on sleep and dreams, briefly illustrate his contribution to the study of this subject: "All creatures that have four limbs and are sanguine (mammals) display signs that they dream while asleep. Considering that desynchronization is predominant all over the cortex in humans and in the frontal cortex of both cats and rats, we consider it to be a phylogenetically more recent functional acquisition. Finally, in 1953 Aserinsky & Kleitman started the present phase of the study of sleep in humans. Rados R, Cartwright RD. Whereas Freud was convinced that dream forgetting was an active function of repression, Hobson, Pace-Schott & Stickgold (2000) attribute the failure to recall a dream to a state-dependent amnesia caused by aminergic demodulation of the sleeping brain (120). 22. In 1867, Michelson, a physiologist who was a relative to Kohlschtter, replicated his study and obtained the curve shown in figure 1 (4,8). Neurosc Res 1993;17:181-202. Proc Natl Acad Sci 1989;86:8737-41. Karger, Basel, 1997:65-76. Baust's data regarding the cat are also evident (38). 136. Bookshelf 92. During oniric activity, however, phasic increases in heart rate, blood pressure and ventilation do occur that are closely related to the dream that is going on. Despite the fact that many studies have found that mental activity during wakefulness differs from that during dreaming, the mechanisms involved in both may differ as to the degree of control over the release and combination of memorized information in wakefulness and in desynchronized sleep. Much effort was devoted to searching for parallels between physiological aspects of REM sleep and characteristics of associated dreams, with modest results. Proc Assoc Res Nerv Ment Dis. Science 1953;118:273-4. These findings do not necessarily mean that such areas are involved in generating dreaming. 2. This seems to be a highly improbably conception, among other reasons because, as dreaming is concerned, threatening events are as dangerous to the organism as bad news we hear and as crossing a street or watching a movie-film full of violence are as well. 71. This organ receives information from the entire body, including the baroreceptors, as shown by Moruzzi (80). Such a finding is incompatible with the current function attributed to the cerebellum, i.e., only correction of movements. Green JD, Arduini A. Hippocampal activity in arousal. Brooks DC, Bizzi E. Brain stem electrical activity during deep sleep. Front Neurol. (36,37) have recorded contraction of the tympanic muscles (stapedius and tensor tympani) during human sleep. 19. Timo-Iaria C, Negro N, Schmidek WR, Rocha TL, Hoshino K. Phases and states of sleep in the rat. Science 1987;238:797-9. Such high values of r may mean that theta waves arrive in such areas almost synchronously, coming from some other sites in the central nervous system. Europ J Neurosci 1994;6:1298-1306. Erlbaum, 1992. Neurosci Biobehav Rev 1992;16:25-30. 79. Muscle atonia during desynchronized sleep is, as stated above, generated in the alpha-coeruleus nucleus and involves both direct and indirect pathways that inhibit the motoneurons. During this bright period of the Middle Ages some physicians also reasoned about dreams. This neural activity is then interpreted by the brain as an internal activity. and transmitted securely. NeuroReport 1995;6:532-6. The vegetative components, that are phasic increases of heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, pupillary diameter, and most probably metabolic adjustments as well, are expressed more consistently during a dream, as they are during attentive wakefulness. The result of such conscious identification is a dream. Generation of sleep is reasonably well known but not that of dreaming. Mirmiran M, Van Someren E. The importance of REM sleep for brain maturation. 32. Predicting Intention to Participate in Community Physical Activities for Adults with Physical Disabilities. Psychoanalysis also considers dreams as the expression of repressed wishes; this is undoubtly true as to only a few dreams, whereas several studies reveal, instead, that most dreams are closely related to the events of the previous day, as Aristotle had already demonstrated. Control of upper airway motoneurons during REM sleep. 90. Rapid increase of an immediate early gene messenger RNA in hippocampal neurons by synaptic NMDA receptor activation. 107. With the development of scientific technology, many theories of dreaming have been established. Around 80 per cent of such motor activity was found to occur during desynchronized sleep, what points to its participation in dreaming activity. During REM sleep, several physiological changes also take place. In fact, when the voltage of each theta wave in one site is compared with the voltage in another site it is possible to assess the degree of coincidence or phase shift between the two sites. 111. ), Ermdung, Schlaf und Traum, Fischer Taschenbuch Verlag, Sttutgart 1971:173-242. Esoteric power, useless, useful: considerations about dreams in cognitive-behavioural therapy. Nature 1989;304:111-4. Also, correlation is high when theta waves in the thalamic reticular nucleus are matched to those occurring in the nucleus reticularis pontis oralis. Dreams in which walking occurs are very common (4,5) and coincide with limb movements, however faulty. Webanalyzing dreams. MeSH Baldissera F, Cesa-Bianchi MG, Mancia M.

Blood pressure during natural sleep and during sleep induced by electrical stimulation of the brain stem reticular formation. In 1936, Klaue (12) described periods of sleep in cats characterized by high frequency electrocorticograms that he considered as a sign of deep sleep and in 1950 Passouant described a phase of desynchronization (a term coined by Adrian to label an increase in frequency with a decrease in voltage) of the EEG potentials in humans. Perspective of Motor Behavior and its Neural Basis. 24. 74. Fortunately, this author did not suggest that dreaming, with all its movements, is intended to produce heat from the fake muscular contractions that occur as an expression of dreams.

Winson (1990) believes that dreams "reflect an individual strategy for survival. Hobson JA. Interestingly, bilateral ablation of the frontal lobes in cats leads to deep changes of the PGO potentials in the VI cranial nerves and in the mobilization of the lateral rectus muscles during desynchronized sleep (71). Brain activity during this time keeps us functioning and ready to process information when we wake up the next morning! In fact, it does frequently occur when movements are expressed as high frequency potentials. Mirmiran M, Van den Dungen H, Uylings HBM. Apparently, the main cause of such a reduction of blood pressure and heart rate is the active inhibition of the baroreceptor reflexes during this phase of sleep.
