41. 83. In humans the electro-oscillograms during desynchronized sleep are expressed as overall cortical desynchronization, whence the adequacy of the name created by Moruzzi, desynchronized sleep. Doneshka P, Kehaiyov A. As any information consciously identified, a dream triggers a specific behavior, that we call an oniric behavior. Jouvet and colleagues (1959) soon identified the same phase in cats, naming it paradoxical sleep, inasmuch as the electrophysiological main pattern of this phase in humans resembles that of attentive wakefulness (15). 50. However, we still do not know why most motor units are inactivated while a few ones are mobilized, causing real but incoherent and non-efficient movements. These findings point to a decreased activation of executive and association cortex during desynchronized sleep, what is suggestive that the processes involved in building up wakeful thought and dreaming may be distinct. Control of upper airway motoneurons during REM sleep. Animal experimentation, by making it possible to implant electrodes in any part of the nervous system and to lesion and stimulate (electrically or chemically) also any nucleus or pathway, has been of the utmost relevance for the understanding of the mechanisms causing not only sleep but also the manifestations of dreaming. Europ J Neurosci 1994;6:1298-1306. Klein M, Michel F, Jouvet M. tude polygraphique du sommeil chez les oiseaux. Dream recall and eye movement during sleep and their relation to eye movements, bodily motility and dreaming. Darwin C. The Expression of Emotions in Man and Animals. (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. Web5 Theories on dreaming . The waking level of aminergic modulation falls to 50% during synchronized sleep and to nearly zero in desynchronized sleep (121,122). 57. Penile erection, that also occurs in monkeys, is present during desynchronized (paradoxical or REMsleep) but it is not necessarily linked to erotic dreams. It may be more appropriate to explain the latter authors' results by reasoning that dreams are originated in memorized information and are, accordingly, closely related to events occurring before sleep. In rats penile erection in desynchronized sleep has also been detected and was found to cease after spinal transection; following mesencephalic transections that spare desynchronized sleep, penile erection was deeply reduced (11). Gottesmann C. Theta rhythm: the brain stem involvement. 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. 80. The leading theory of dreaming in the early decades of this research was the psychoanalytic, which views dreams as highly meaningful reflections of unconscious mental functioning. Timo-Iaria C, yamashita R, Hoshino K, Sousa-Melo A. Ribeiro S, Goyal V, Mello CV, Pavlides C. Brain gene expression during REM sleep depends on prior waking experience. Expt Neurol 1976;53:328-38. The narrower is the angle of rotation, the lower is the recorded potential, which happens when attention is being directed to a very small part of the object or when the object is very near. 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.

Activity of the red nucleus during deep, desynchronized sleep in the unrestrained cat. University of Chicago Press, Chicago 1963. 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). A regular oscillation modulates the amplitude of the potentials. 120. During wakefulness such periods in rats are concomitant with short but complete immobilization, which is well known to occur when a high degree of attention is being directed to some external object. This neural activity is then interpreted by the brain as an internal activity. Roffwarg et al. Mirmiran M, Van den Dungen H, Uylings HBM. Wehr TA. 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. Geschichte der Physiologie. Behav Brain Res 1995;69:13-22. Crick F, Mitchison G. The function of dream sleep. By measuring the voltage of the potential generated by the rotation it is possible to know if the object is near or far. Jouvet believes that dreaming activity plays a key role during the earliest years of life and thus may be involved in continuously programming some of the most subtle reactions of our consciousness during wakefulness. 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. In: M. C. Hepp-Reymond & G. Marini (eds.) 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. Noda H, Adey WR. The first oscillation lasts around two hours, when sleep attains its deepest level; the ensuing cycles last less and their depth tends to decrease until arousal finally occurs, a sequence that recent research has fully confirmed. 44. The substrate, physiological mechanism, and function of dreaming have been explained by many scientists from the neurological, psychiatric, psychological, and philosophical perspective. 33. 111. Electroencephalogr Clin Neurophysiol 1997;102:125-31. Thomas J, Benoit O. Individualisation d'un sommeil ondes lentes et activit phasique.

Thermoregulation is impaired in desynchronized sleep (64) but it is unlikely that body temperature changes due to dreaming activity, inasmuch as variations of temperature are slow while dreaming is a fast pace phenomenon. 3. 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. Behav Brain Sci 2000;23:877-901. If, as an advantage, in humans such manifestations of dreams can be related to their reported content, in non-human animals it is possible to record with a high degree of accuracy not only the motor and the vegetative manifestations of dremaing but the electro-oscillograms of many central structures as well. 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. Changes in neuronal activity in association cortex of the cat in relation to sleep and wakefulness. Marini G. Motor phenomena during sleep. Takakusaki K, Ohta y, Mori S. Single medullary reticulospinal neurons exert postsynaptic inhibitory effects via inhibitory interneurons upon alpha-motoneurons innervating cat hindlimb muscles. 100. Theta waves, discovered by Jung and Kornmller in 1938 (72), were extensively studied by Green & Arduini (73), who proved they are related to arousal. It would appear that the intense activation of desynchronized sleep must overcome this demodulation and persist into subsequent waking, in order for very vivid dreams to be remembered. Jouvet M. Neurophysiology of the states of sleep. Our data with rats are quite consistent as to the variation of blood pressure and heart rate during oniric activity. This organ receives information from the entire body, including the baroreceptors, as shown by Moruzzi (80). By visually examining the amplitude of theta waves in these examples it seems they vary at random but when the instant variation of voltage is plotted as a function of time, a regular variation appears during the phasic movements (figure 10). Those that are specific to certain behaviors. Xu Q, Xie H, Zheng D, Wu X, Zhang Y, Li T, Yan T. J Pers Med. Not only theta waves do occur in the cerebellar cortex during desynchronized sleep but also spindles and delta waves are found in this organ in synchronized sleep, just as in neocortical areas. Later, the Roman writer Lucretius, the first popularizer of science, in his book De Rerum Natura (1978) credited these Greek philosophers for the discovery of the characteristics of sleep and dreams (2). Many hypotheses have been advanced but so far they do not explain why and what for we do dream. Kleitman N. Sleep and Wakefulness. Am J Physiol 1937;118:8-14. Phenomenal dream content, however, is not as disorganized as such views imply. Neurosci Biobehav Rev 1992;16:25-30. Neuroscience 1997;81:893-926. 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. Villablanca J. Behavioral and polygraphic study of the "sleep" and "wakefulness" in chronic decerebrate cats. It is not known if such a mechanism does exist in humans; if it exists, what is highly possible, we can reason that it is the activity of the chemoreceptor system that senses pO2 that keeps us alive during desynchronized sleep. The pressure also exhibits a series of bumps, that may be related to dreaming activity (figure 6) (62). Stimulus response theory of dream: The stimulus response theory which existed prior to Freud is based upon the associationistic stimulus response view. This theory stresses the relationship between brain changes during sleep and changes in perceptual efficiency. Some disturbing stimuli force activity into one portion of the cerebral cortex. 103. 5. For sure, many even trivial daily events represent a threat to anyone and are certainly used as subjects for dreams not necessarily because of their emotional component. Hobson, Pace-Schott & Stickgold (2000) do not take into consideration that a single object or a brief key fact or image occurring in the day preceding a given dream may be enough to trigger an entire dreamed "story" related to it (120). Respiratory frequency decreases during the entire sleep cycle but is phasically activated during dreaming because it is a vegetative function that has to be increased in any behavior, including the oniric ones. Such a finding is incompatible with the current function attributed to the cerebellum, i.e., only correction of movements. Erlbaum, 1992. Krueger JM, Obl F. A neuronal group theory of sleep function. Moruzzi G. Sleep and instinctive behavior. Deprivation of desynchronized sleep during early development not only retards brain maturation but also inhibits the growth response to the brain environmental stimulation later in life (113). In: C. Guilleminaut, W. C. Dement and P. Passouant (eds.) Similarly, in rats any kind of sensory stimulation does immediately mobilize sniffing and vibrissal scanning movements. 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. Electroencerph Clin Neurophysiol 1964;17:617-29. Studi Psicologici e Clinici di un Alienista. In cats, during movements related to dreams such hyperpolarization is reinforced by presynaptic inhibition of afferents to motoneurons. Such patterns mimic oniric eye movements, which may occur in functional coincidence or not with the visual scenes that are dreamed of. J Neurosci 1991;11:2804-11. Baust's data regarding the cat are also evident (38). cognitive development. Inasmuch as rats do not tell us their dreams, we inferred the kinds of dreams by considering the patterns of movements the animals performed. Such a recovery means that other mechanisms are put into action that are able to generate not only wakefulness but desynchronized sleep as well. 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. 107. REM sleep and dreaming: towards a theory of protoconsciousness. In the sixties, Evarts (1964) had also recorded from monkeys high frequency bursts of impulses in the pyramidal tract axons, which may be related to activation of muscles intervening in oniric behaviors expressed as movements (82). Jouvet M, Michel F, Courjon J. Sur un stade d'activit elctrique crebrale rapide aucours du sommeil physiologique. 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). Some scientists take the position that dreaming probably has no function. Energy conservation theory posits that the main function of sleep is to reduce a person's energy demand during part of the day and night when it is least efficient to hunt for food. 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. Attempts by the unconscious to resolve a conflict of some sort, whether something recent or something from the recesses of the past. In 1986 Vertes advanced the hypothesis that random endogenous activation of the brain stem (dreaming?) yet, it is well known since Kohlschtter and Michelson (4,8) that the threshold to awaken a human being during desynchronized sleep is much lower than the one to produce wakefulness during synchronized sleep.

One is that dreams are generated by the activation of neural activity in the brainstem and its signal transmission to the cortex. Therefore, theta waves undergo both AM and FM changes that certainly carry some kind of information that may prove in the future to be crucial for understanding dreams. "Dreams are not ghosts (phantasmata), since they are closely related to the events of the previous day". Electrical stimulation of the nucleus reticularis pontis oralis evokes bilateral muscle atonia in decerebrate cats (52). We spend a lot of time sleeping. Later research argues that dreams are physiological, beginning with random electrical impulses deep within the brain stem. Doctoral thesis, Federal University of So Paulo, 1995. In 1963 we found that cholinergic stimulation of a descending pathway (within Nauta's limbic-mesencephalic system) causes sleep (33). Dement WC.

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. Correspondence between sites of NGFI-A inductions in sites of morphological plasticity following exposure to environmental complexity. The motoneuron inhibition, responsible for the sleep atonia and abolition of movements, is not complete in infancy (figure 5). Cien Cult 1995;47:221-34. Santos LM, Valle AC, Sameshima K, Silva MTP, Timo-Iaria C. A linear relationship between theta waves frequency and the speed of learning in rats. 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). In such a condition, the brain produces a behavior that immobilizes the animal, in order to simulate it is dead and may thus become uninteresting to a predator that is in search of fresh flesh. Our hypothesis is that the cerebellum is involved in overall corrections of the components of all kinds of behavior, including sleep. 76. Wilson MA, McNaughton BL. 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. In humans, Hansotia and colleagues (34) found in humans, in accordance with our own observations in rats and cats, that oniric eye movements may be directed to one side or the other, not exclusively to one side, as stated by Vanni-Mercier and co-workers (29).

Such electrophysiological studies demonstrate that the abovementioned sites in the central nervous system are involved in the oniric movements but they do not prove that such structures generate them. Brain Res 1967;5:221-35. Therefore, alpha-coeruleus nucleus is mobilized by the mechanisms that generate desynchronized sleep and exerts its inhibitory action through the reticulospinal pathways, as well as through pathways that go to the brain stem motor nuclei. Lovblad KO, Thomas R, Jakod PM, Scammel T, Bassetti C, Griswold M, et al. The ancient Chinese scientific inquiry tried to understand dreaming but usually also considered them mistically. The PGO potentials are correlates of dreams. Psychophysiology 1968;4:311-23. Instead, they thought that dreams were not provoked by spirits, ghosts or gods, which took over the mind to express themselves through dreaming. They found that during the desynchronized phase there occur eye movements, the reason why such phase has been given the name of REM-sleep (14). (36,37) have recorded contraction of the tympanic muscles (stapedius and tensor tympani) during human sleep. Some authors have not been able to find changes in heart rate and respiration during desynchronized sleep (61) but there are striking demonstrations that blood pressure is reduced (figure 6), attaining values as low as 60 mmHg of systolic pressure; heart rate is also reduced and ventilation decreases (38,62). Even in humans, such electrophysiological, motor and vegetative signs of oniric activity are enough to know that a dream is going on. C R Soc Biol (Paris) 1969;163:181-6. Heart rate decreases down to nearly 150 bpm 1 or 2 seconds following the cessation of eye movements. 123. Reticulospinal and reticulobulbar tracts are involved in conveying to the motoneurons the impulses that cause oniric movements. Exp Brain Res 1989;74:11-23. Winson J. The discovery of REM sleep kickstarted a flurry of scientific research into the mechanisms of the sleeping brain. Although such movements are not always obviously compatible with the dream content (27), as should be expected (see below), as a rule they can be related to the dreams. Neurosci Res 1993;17:127-140. 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. J Abnorm Psychol 1982;91:433-6. 56. Electroencephal Clin Neurophysiol 1966;21:562-77. With Darwin (1965), we are fully convinced that "at least birds and mammals do dream" (6).

Another hypothesis to account for desynchronized sleep function is that this phase of sleep is programmed to occur when central temperature is low and that it has a thermoregulatory function. 68. Such hypothesis is grounded on the following steps. There are other definitions of the word dream, too. In decerebrate cats eye movements do occur and are integrated below the midbrain (67,95). Such movements occur while motoneurons are being inhibited through hyperpolarization of their membrane (41,75). Jouvet M. Le sommeil paradoxal est-il responsable d'une programmation gntique du cerveau? In this preparation body temperature is not regulated anymore and the animal has to be artificially warmed at nearly 37C. The neurophysiological mechanisms of the postural and motor events during desynchronized sleep. 42. 75. WebHe says the function of dreams is that by reproducing difficult or unsolved life situations or experiences, the dream aids towards a solving or resolution of the problems. C R S Soc Biol (Paris) 1964;158:99-103. 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). The site is secure. 126. Physiol Rev 1967;47:117-77. Doneshka & Kehaiyov (1978) reported dreams with striking vestibular sensations. 2. Absence of ponto-geniculo-occipital (PGO) spikes in rats. Much effort was devoted to searching for parallels between physiological aspects of REM sleep and characteristics of associated dreams, with modest results. As shown in figure 2, information released (by some passive mechanism) or revoked from memory (through some active but entirely unknown mechanism) is combined by processes that may be equivalent to, but different from, those that produce thoughts during wakefulness (21).
