Experimental methodologies permitted investigation of the responsiveness of dreams to external stimulation and the effects of deprivation of REM sleep. 47. 77. Stern W, Forbes WN, Morgane PJ. Such hypothesis is grounded on the following steps. 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". A theory that has many followers is the one that connects dreams, in particular, desynchronized sleep in general, with memory consolidation. Bethesda, MD 20894, Web Policies 21. The main purpose of experimental decerebration is to study the mechanisms of the fundamental posture, that is, the standing posture. Desynchronization is the rule, during this phase, in all cortical electro-oscillograms in humans and other primates. WebDream theories developed by Freud suggest that dreams are psychological, revealing hidden urges, for example. 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 Sleep patterns during rearing under different environmental conditions in juveline rats. Brain activity during this time keeps us functioning and ready to process information when we wake up the next morning! Editor-translator: Gallop, D., Aris & Phillips Ltd., Warminster, England 1991.

To what degree, and in what way, implications can be drawn from these findings for the psychology of dreaming is controversial. Nature 1989;304:111-4. 30. The discovery of REM sleep kickstarted a flurry of scientific research into the mechanisms of the sleeping brain. (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. 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. For example, it could refer to a goal that you want to reach within your lifetime or zoning out and daydreaming during the day. Geniculate spike activity in primate sleep and wakefulness. Desseilles M, Dang-Vu TT, Sterpenich V, Schwartz S. Conscious Cogn. 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). 79. In rats, heart rate is clearly accelerated during the periods of oniric activity, expressed as rostrum+vibrissae, eye, head, ear and limb movements. General Learning Press, 1970. WebIn a nutshell, the theory states that the biological function of dreaming is to stimulate threatening events in order to rehearse the perception of threats and how to go about Consciousness in waking and dreaming: the roles of neuronal oscillation and neuromodulation in determining similarities and differences. Those that are specific to certain behaviors. Karger, Basel, 1997:65-76. Functional neuroanatomy of human rapid-eye-movement sleep and dreaming. NeuroReport 1995;6:532-6. His personal oracle, however, disagreed and convinced him that his dreams were warnings from the gods. 117. Brain 1997;120:1173-97. Psychophysiology 1968;4:311-23. Such a configuration is subsequently compared to memorized patterns and then, and only then, it can be identified by means of the conscious process. Therefore, any neural event, be it running or just thinking, or dreaming, requires a large amount of oxygen, which is carried to the nervous system by the blood through powerful hemodynamic adjustments, such as increase in blood pressure, heart rate and central blood flow (21,25,26). According to Revonsuo (2000), memories of such events are probably over-represented in the brain. Visual dreams provoke eye movements. J Neurosci 1991;11:2804-11. In normal humans they found that around 20% of the dreams contain a vestibular component (vertigo, sensation of head drop) but in people with a vestibular illness the proportion of such dreams increased to over 70%, as expected from the close relationship between dreams and the events occurring in the previous day (39). 52. This theory is supported by the fact that the body has decreased metabolism by up to 10% during sleep. Dreaming has been a subject of cogitation since remote Antiquity. Clipboard, Search History, and several other advanced features are temporarily unavailable. Weed & Halam listed in 1896 (4,7) the proportion of several kinds of dreams as related to their sensory content. 53. During REM sleep, several physiological changes also take place. 60. Confrontations Psychiatriques 1986;27:153-81. The lag between tachycardia and eye movements may be related to all the neural processes that are involved in the phases preceding adn succeeding the oniric behavior, including the very identification of the dream content. Much effort was devoted to searching for parallels between physiological aspects of REM sleep and characteristics of associated dreams, with modest results. Gassel MM, Marchiafava PL, Pompeiano O. PMC It seems that not only humans but also dogs, cows, sheep and goats and the entire family of four-legged viviparous animals do dream. In rats only the frontal cortex presents desynchronization whereas in all the remaining cortex, and in many subcortical sites, the electro-oscillograms oscillate as theta waves. Braz J Med Biol Res 1995;28:385-96. Moruzzi G. Action inhibitrice du palocervelet sur les reflexes circulatoires et respiratoires d'origine sino-carotidinne. However, in the animals subjected to a rich-environment zif-268 increased significantly from synchronized to desynchronized sleep but decreased from wakefulness to synchronized sleep. Unable to load your collection due to an error, Unable to load your delegates due to an error. (1999) (126,127,129,130). 81. Sigmund Freuds theory of dreams suggests that dreams represent unconscious desires, thoughts, wish fulfillment, and motivations. Shiromani PJ, Malik M, Winston S, McCarley RW. Electrical stimulation of the nucleus reticularis pontis oralis evokes bilateral muscle atonia in decerebrate cats (52). Doneshka P, Kehaiyov A. Brainstem Control of Wakefulness and Sleep. 38. No PGO potentials have been found in rats (70). Despite such discrepancies, however, during synchronized sleep PRT studies reveal a decrease in global cerebral energy metabolism relative to both waking and desynchronized sleep. An official website of the United States government. Van de Castle RL. 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. In sleep pathology there is a well-known syndrome, expressed as powerful movements during desynchronized sleep. 106. Many studies performed during the eighteenth century confirmed such statement (4,7). 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. Such movements may take the sleeper to fall off the bed. 34. 40. Petersohn D, Schoch S, Brinkmann DR, Thiel G. The human synapsin II gene promoter. 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. 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. 2019 Oct 22;10:1127. doi: 10.3389/fneur.2019.01127. While Freud makes many intuitive In: C. Guilleminaut, W. C. Dement and P. Passouant (eds.) 13. Electrophysiologically, it has been shown that the same type of hippocampal cells that are activated during training in a radial maze are also endogenously reactivated during sleep, which accounts for memory consolidation and for a close correlation between dreams and events preceding sleep (87).

In cats, Thomas & Benoit (18) have found oniric activity during synchronized sleep, similar to what we described in rats as pre-paradoxical sleep (19,20) as intermediate phase. World Fed Sleep Res Soc Newsletter 1997;5:22-3. Our experience with eye movements in rats (30-32) and cats (33) shows, however, that eye movements are sometimes asymmetric but in other occasions they tend to be of the scanning kind. 134. Human regional cerebral blood flow during rapid eye movement sleep. Phenomenal dream content, however, is not as disorganized as such views imply. J Neurophysiol 1954;17:532-57. Several authors also quantified the kinds of dreams as related to their sensory content. Several theories claim that dreaming is a random by-product of REM sleep physiology and that it does not serve any natural function. Dreams and Nightmares in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Review. 45. The postynaptic inhibitory control of lumbar motoneurons during the atonia of active sleep: effect of strychnine on motoneuron properties. There are many hypotheses to account for the existence of dreams but it is still a matter of debate why and what for we dream. Rechtschaffen A, Buchignani C. The visual appearance of dreams. Interestingly enough, if body temperature in cats subjected to pontomesencephalic transection is lowered, the amount of desynchronized sleep increases. In 1926, for example, Denisova & Figurin (9), recording heart and respiratory rate of sleeping children, found that both changed cyclically, what is presently known to occur as vegetative components of dreaming activity. This is for sure the most enigmatic issue about dreaming. 1. 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. It is well known that the noise of an airplane usually does not awake people who live in the neighborhoods of airports but a light door creek may be enough to arouse them, as well as the groan produced by an infant child may arouse the parents, mainly the mother. Often eye movements are preceded in the electroencephalogram by small sawthoot-waves that superimpose on desynchronized potentials (figure 3). Freuds wish-fulfillment. These authors argue that despite the marked suppression of desynchronized sleep provoked by tricyclic antidepressants neither selective serotonine reuptake inhibitors and mono-amino-oxydase nor learning and memory are disrupted. Another fancy hypothesis is the one that proposes that we dream to forget, in order to delete "unwanted" information by reverse learning or unlearning (118). "Insects are also creatures that do sleep, so much so that they can be seen resting with no movements whatsoever. Much experimental work is needed before a convincing function can be ascribed to the fascinating physiological phenomenon that is dreaming. Later research argues that dreams are physiological, beginning with random electrical impulses deep within the brain stem. Baldissera F, Broggi G. An analysis of potential changes in the spinal cord during desynchronized sleep. 56. 82. Fratelli Bocca Editori, Torino 1899. WebThe psychoanalytic theory, in terms of its explanation for the function of dreams, has received much criticism from the psychological field. Head jerky movements may reflect vestibular dreams. 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. Cognitive and emotional processes during dreaming: a neuroimaging view. Thus, any study of dreaming also lends itself to psychological scrutiny and clinical application. 22. 75. Theta waves, discovered by Jung and Kornmller in 1938 (72), were extensively studied by Green & Arduini (73), who proved they are related to arousal. News Physiol Sci 1998;13:91-7. 125. Brainstem mechanisms of slow-wave sleep and REM sleep. 108. University of Chicago Press, Chicago 1963. 23. 72. 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. Vertes RP, Kocsis B. Brainstem-diencephalo-septohippocampal systems controlling the theta rhythm of the hippocampus. Selective deactivation of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex has been found in desynchronized sleep. 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. 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).

Also, correlation is high when theta waves in the thalamic reticular nucleus are matched to those occurring in the nucleus reticularis pontis oralis. Neurosci Res 1993;17:127-140. Experimental study. Around 80 per cent of such motor activity was found to occur during desynchronized sleep, what points to its participation in dreaming activity. For instance, zif-268 has been shown to induce the expression of a synapse-specific protein, synapsin II (101), and has been linked to the induction of hippocampal long-term potentiation (102,103) and other plasticity phenomena. Changes in neuronal activity in association cortex of the cat in relation to sleep and wakefulness. 18. Jouvet M. Neurophysiology of the states of sleep.

A nerve growth factor-induced gene encodes a possible trancriptional regulatory factor. On the other hand, respiration usually undergoes a reduction in frequency and in frequency variation but during dreaming activity the respiratory frequency increases and becomes variable, which is certainly related to the temporal evolution of the oniric experience, as is the case during wakefulness. In blind people, whose auditory and somesthetic sensitivity is enhanced, auditory dreams predominate, as expected from their high auditory sensibility. 94. C R Soc Biol (Paris) 1938;128:533-9. During wakefulness theta waves consistently exhibit a lesser voltage and are less regular than during desynchronized sleep, what makes it easy to tell wakefulness from desynchronized sleep from the shear inspection of the electro-oscillograms (21,30,31,125). Exploring the neural correlates of dream phenomenology and altered states of consciousness during sleep. Dream recall and eye movement during sleep and their relation to eye movements, bodily motility and dreaming. Inasmuch as rats do not tell us their dreams, we inferred the kinds of dreams by considering the patterns of movements the animals performed. Proc Assoc Res Nerv Ment Dis. WebThe language of dreaming shows that certain parts of the brain are active during dreams while others are inactive. Brain Res 1996;770:192-201. Maquet et al. Timo-Iaria C, Negro N, Schmidek WR, Rocha TL, Hoshino K. Phases and states of sleep in the rat. 57. Generally, in humans oniric activity is expressed as eye movements, what is obviously linked to vision as the main human sensory channel. 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. 130. 67. From the spinal cord Marini (1997) recorded slow (delta) regularly oscillating waves during desynchronized sleep (81), which may be related to activation of spinal neurons during dreaming. 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). Salivary, gastric, enteric, pancreatic and billiary secretion and contraction of the smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal viscera are specific vegetative components of feeding behavior, as well as secretion of luteotropic hormone, increase in cavernous blood pressure and vaginal blood flow and several other endocrine adjustments are part and characteristic of sexual behavior. Behav Brain Res 1995;69:13-22. Expt Neurol 1976;53:328-38. Brain Develop 1994;16:81-91. By lesioning the alphacoeruleus nuclei such an inhibitory effect is prevented and during oniric activity the movements generated by the dream itself can be expressed, as was clearly demonstrated in Jouvet's Laboratory (50,51) in cats; the animal suddenly gets up, walks, miews and strikes with the paws, as if the animal were awake. Timo-Iaria C, Valle AC. Darwin C. The Expression of Emotions in Man and Animals. It has, however, been utilized with a great success in sleep studies. Roffwarg HP, Herman J, Lamstein S. The middle ear muscles: predictability of their phasic action in REM sleep from dream recall. 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. Spectrum, New york 1976:411-449. eCollection 2017. 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. (1996) and Braun et al. Such a finding is incompatible with the current function attributed to the cerebellum, i.e., only correction of movements. Assoc Psychophysiol Stud Sleep. Curr Opin Neurobiol 1992;2:759-63. In the past, most civilizations boasted having wise people who could tell the meaning of dreams if conveniently paid for that, a fancy profession that still has its counterparts in modern nations. Those that are common to all behaviors (increase in heart rate, blood pressure, blood flow to the nervous system and muscles, ventilation, pupil diameter and palmar and plantar electrical conductance) and are intended to increase the supply of blood, oxygen, glucose etc. However, considering the high prevalence of dreams during this phase it should be more appropriately named oniric phase of sleep. Figure 9 illustrates an episode of olfactory and vibrissal movements. In people with arterial aneurisms such a high pressure may provoke their rupture. 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. Dement WC. The same holds true for animals that live in water, such as fishes, molusks, crustacea and other similar animals; it is impossible to invoke as a proof that they do sleep the shutting of their eyes, inasmuch as they do not have eyelids but it is obvious that they periodically do rest, immobile, what perhaps does explain why at night their predators attack them heavily and devour them.

A theory that has many Vogel GW, Foulkes D, Trosman H. Ego functions and dreaming during sleep onset. 3. 129. Miyauchi S, Takino R, Fukuda H, Torii S. Electrophysiological evidence for dreaming. However, during desynchronized sleep it was drastically reduced, being entirely inhibited for most of the time. Accessibility Attempts by the unconscious to resolve a conflict of some sort, whether something recent or something from the recesses of the past. The meaning of dreams. 98. 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. C R S Soc Biol (Paris) 1964;158:99-103. Plenum Press, 1990. 29. Sakai K, Sastre JP, Salvert D, Touret M, Toyama M, Jouvet M. Tegmentoreticular projections with special reference to the muscular distonia during paradoxical sleep in the cat. 84. Despite several demonstrations that this hypothesis is correct, a few argue against such a view. Recently a more acceptable evidence in favor of the consolidation hypothesis arises from the study of a gene involved in neuronal activation This gene protein, zif-268 (98), binds to a specific DNA molecule present in the promoters of a variety of genes expressed in the nervous system (99) and its up-regulation is thought to initiate a program of gene regulation leading to neuronal plasticity (100). In cats desynchronized sleep appears also as tonic cortical desynchronization (figure 3) but in the hippocampus, septal area and amygdala theta waves predominate, as in rats and rabbits. This site needs JavaScript to work properly. In rats we found similar potentials in the amygdala as related to olfactory dreams, expressed as rostrum movements (32). 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). Socrates, Plato, Aristotle and Xenophanes, nearly 2,400 years ago, were opposed to the prevailing view of the phantastikon, that is, mystic apparitions, and to the premonitory character of dreams as their main characteristics. 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. J Ment Nerv Dis 1966;141:623-50. 49. Vision is our predominant sensory channel, so much so that if we hear a sound we immediately convey the eyes to the source of the sound, trying to identify its origin, even if vision is absent. 2011 Dec;20(4):998-1008. doi: 10.1016/j.concog.2010.10.005. Proc Natl Acad Sci 1989;86:8737-41. 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. 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. Roussy F, Camirand C, Foulkes D, De Koninck J, Loftis M, Kerr NH. Kubin L, Davies RO, Pack AI. Foulkes (1982) considered that dreams are so easily forgotten because the brain in desynchronized sleep is in a "reflective state". Ribeiro S, Goyal V, Mello CV, Pavlides C.

Dreaming and the brain: toward a cognitive neuroscience of conscious states. John Wiley and Sons, New york 1982. When any part of the brain programs a behavior it sends the program to the cerebellum. Sleep 1999;22:409-18. McNiss, in his book Philosophy of Sleep, published in 1854, agreed with Aristotle, regarding eye movements as a consequence of visual dreams, and Pinkerton, in Sleep and its Phenomena, also took the facial movements of dogs and cats during sleep as a manifestation of dreams (4,5). Exp Brain Res 1989;74:11-23. Movements of the eyes when the lids are closed. There are two kinds of vegetative components: 1. However, human oniric behaviors are also expressed as lips, tongue and facial movements, as well as fingers, toes and whole limbs jerks, as described above. Valle AC, Timo-Iaria C, Sameshima K, yamashita R. Theta waves and behavioral manifestations of alertness and dreaming activity in the rat. 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. Their data do not depart from modern studies of the same kind. J Physiol (Paris) 1984;79:365-74. during desynchronized sleep prevents sustained brain inactivity, which might occur during sleep. Where do dreams come from? 51. 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 Physiology and Psychology. Induction of rapid eye movement sleep by carbachol infusion into the pontine reticular formation of the rat. 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. By measuring the voltage of the potential generated by the rotation it is possible to know if the object is near or far. Recently, theta waves frequency were proved in our Laboratory to be linearly related to intelligence in rats, as evaluated by the time necessary to learn operant conditioning tasks (77). 37. Psychoanalysis considers dreams as an important window to the unconscious world, what makes dream interpretation a crucial factor in psychonalytic diagnosis and treatment. It should be recalled here that, comparing the dream content in humans with events of the previous day, Calkins found in 1876 that nearly 89% of the reported dreams were closely related to such events. 65. In rats subjected to early desynchronized sleep deprivation, ejaculation was deeply reduced in adulthood (114,115), what is a profound impairment of a very important instinctive behavior. With the development of scientific technology, many theories of dreaming have been established. Reticulospinal and reticulobulbar tracts are involved in conveying to the motoneurons the impulses that cause oniric movements. 59. The atonia of myoclonia of active (REM) sleep. 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. The dream between neuroscience and psychoanalysis. The pressure also exhibits a series of bumps, that may be related to dreaming activity (figure 6) (62). Gassel MM, Marchiafava PL, Pompeiano O. Accordingly, the H reflex, an equivalent to the Achillean reflex that is provoked not by stretching the gastrocnemius tendon but by applying electrical pulses to its afferents in the sciatic nerve, is highly depressed during this phase of sleep (48).
