1 sie 2002 · During sleep, an ultradian oscillator in the mesopontine junction controls the regular alternation of rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM sleep. Sleep cycles are accompanied by...
Redundancy in the molecules, cells, and neural circuitry regulating sleep suggest that sleep plays a crucial and protective physiological role, yet such redundancy also renders elusive exact determination of the function(s) of sleep and the regulatory mechanisms involved.
17 gru 2015 · A commonly held view is that extended wakefulness is causal for a broad spectrum of deleterious effects at molecular, cellular, network, physiological, psychological, and behavioral levels. Consequently, it is often presumed that sleep plays an active role in providing renormalization of the changes incurred during preceding waking.
8 lip 2024 · We address novel sleep functions at the neural level, including sleep’s role in regulating the glymphatic cleansing system. Staying within the brain, we then address one of the newest emerging fields of sleep neuroscience, that of emotional wellness and mental health.
1 maj 2017 · The cerebellum shows sleep stage–dependent activity and its malfunctions can lead to changes in the sleep–wake cycle, leading to sleep disorders. The cerebral cortex and cerebellum strongly interact during both the awake state and sleep, and such interactions during sleep also contribute to consolidation of memories.
6 sie 2020 · What are the different stages of sleep and what role do they play in learning and memory formation? What about in anxiety and pain? Do neurons and neurotransmitters also play a role? These are...
2 maj 2013 · We propose that sleep's primary function is to allow individual neurons to perform prophylactic cellular maintenance. Just as muscle cells must rest after strenuous exercise to...
