Gassel MM, Marchiafava PL, Pompeiano O. 48. This allows us to see the irrational as a normal event, while emotional processing and symbolic identities can be explored. Maquet P, Pters J, Aerts J, Delfiore G, Degueldre C, Luxen A, Franck G. Nature. Pontine cholinergic neurons show fos-like immunoreactivity associated with cholinergically induced REM sleep. 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). For the first time, direct and systematic investigation could be made of such topics as the occurrence, qualities, recollection, and childhood development of dreaming. Arch Ital Biol 1965;103:25-44. Theta waves, discovered by Jung and Kornmller in 1938 (72), were extensively studied by Green & Arduini (73), who proved they are related to arousal. Neurology 1999;53:2193-5. In: The Neuropsychology of Sleep and Dreaming, Antrobus, J. S. & Bertini, M. 122. Electrical stimulation of the nucleus reticularis pontis oralis evokes bilateral muscle atonia in decerebrate cats (52). These findings do not necessarily mean that such areas are involved in generating dreaming. Confrontations Psychiatriques 1986;27:153-81. Baldissera F, Cesa-Bianchi MG, Mancia M. Phasic events indicating presynaptic inhibition of primary afferents to the spinal cord during desynchronized sleep. Some peculiarities of the dreams of patients with vestibular diseases. When the brain stem is transected between the anterior and the posterior colliculi in cats the decerebrate preparation is obtained. Epub 2009 Oct 1. Shiromani PJ, Lai yy, Siegel JM. 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). In non-human animals the report regarding dreams is obviously impossible but, fortunately, a dream can be detected in both humans and other species by analyzing its motor, vegetative and electrophysiological manifestations, as will be described below. Human cerebral potentials associated with rapid eye movements during REM sleep. 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. Such patterns mimic oniric eye movements, which may occur in functional coincidence or not with the visual scenes that are dreamed of. 2009 Nov;10(11):803-13. doi: 10.1038/nrn2716. 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. 4. (eds.) Brain Res 1996;770:192-201. 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. 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. 56. Regional cerebral glucose metabolic rate in human sleep assessed by positron emission tomography. Metabolism during desynchronized sleep tends, in fact, to be equal to or even larger than that of waking (131,132). Gottesman C, Gandolfo G, Zernicki B. Geniculate spike activity in primate sleep and wakefulness. 76. Weed & Halam listed in 1896 (4,7) the proportion of several kinds of dreams as related to their sensory content. 40. The discovery of the close association between rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and dreaming and development of sleep laboratory techniques ushered in a new era in the study of dreams. Physiol., Springer-Verlag, Berlin 1972:166-307. 2020 Nov 12;11:565694. doi: 10.3389/fneur.2020.565694. J Neurophysiol 1964;27:152-71. Problems with Physiological function Theory This does Cesar Timo-Iaria (in memorian); Angela Cristina do Valle. Electroencephal Clin Neurophysiol 1955:673-690. Brain Res Mol Brain Res 1996;42:123-7. Since memorized information is the basic material to build up dreams, it is understandable that many (but not all) dreams are threatening and emotionally highly charged (111). 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). 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 Mori S, Matysuyama K, Kohyama J, Kobayashi y, Takakusaki K. Neuronal constituents of postural and locomotor control systems and their interactions in cats. 10. Two major theories have been proposed regarding the neural circuits involved in dreaming. The correlation between dream content and the oniric movements was first studied by Aristotle, who identified lip, eye and limb movements and correctly related them to what was being dreamed of. Xu Q, Xie H, Zheng D, Wu X, Zhang Y, Li T, Yan T. J Pers Med. A theory that has many Mori D, Shik ML, yagodnitsyn AS. 45. We suppose, instead, inasmuch as dreams are forgotten if we are not aroused while dreaming or within ten to fifteen minutes immediately after the dream has ceased, that it may well be that dreams are forgotten because the reticular activating system is highly deactivated during desynchronized sleep and thus the memory of the dreams cannot be consolidated (110). Wiley-Interscience, New york 1990:535-583. Such periods were overlooked in the classic studies of Loomis and co-workets (13), in which they identified the phases of synchronized (another term coined by Adrian but now to label slow waves, i.e., potentials with a low frequency and a high voltage) sleep. Some scientists take the position that dreaming probably has no function. Dement WC. Vanni-Mercier G, Pelisson D, Goffart L, Sakai K, Jouvet M. Eye saccade dynamics during paradoxical sleep in the cat. Behav Brain Sci 2000;23:867-76. World Fed Sleep Res Soc Newsletter 1997;5:20-1. Lovblad KO, Thomas R, Jakod PM, Scammel T, Bassetti C, Griswold M, et al. 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. Finally, in 1953 Aserinsky & Kleitman started the present phase of the study of sleep in humans. 126. Hernndez-Pen R. A neurophysiologic model of dreams and hallucinations. 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 Brain Develop (Tokyo) 1992;14:109-20. (1997) found during desynchronized sleep a consistent activation of the pons, midbrain, anterior hypothalamus, caudate and medial prefrontal, caudal orbital, anterior cingulate, parahippocampal and inferior temporal cortices (126). Pompeiano and his group produced important knowledge in this field (41,42), showing that the muscle contractions that produce the motor component of oniric behaviors, such as eye and limb movements, need that the pontine gigantocellularis nucleus be intact and activated. Arch Ital Biol 1962;100:216-22. Hernndez-Pen R, Ibarra GC, Morgane PJ, Timo-Iaria C. Limbic cholinergic pathways involved in sleep and emotional behavior. 70. 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. Valle AC, Timo-Iaria C, Sameshima K, yamashita R. Theta waves and behavioral manifestations of alertness and dreaming activity in the rat. 75. Desynchronized sleep can be provoked by carbachol infusion in the pontine reticular formation (94). At the end of the 19th century several authors published on oniric activity. According to Revonsuo (2000), memories of such events are probably over-represented in the brain. activation-synthesis. Cravo SLD, Lopes OU, Fraga CAB, Timo-Iaria C. Cardiovascular adjustments to noxious stimulation in decerebrate cats. 100. 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. Unauthorized use of these marks is strictly prohibited. Brain activity during this time keeps us It seems that a systematic investigation regarding the threshold to different types of stimulation is still lacking and should be performed, in order to establish which kinds of stimulation and effective thresholds are able to awaken humans and non-humans during sleep. 60. Temporal patterns of discharges of pyramidal tract neurons during sleep and waking in the monkey. 24. The previous station of these nuclei is the interpeduncular nucleus, whose stimulation with carbachol caused sleep within nearly 30 seconds. Brooks DC, Bizzi E. Brain stem electrical activity during deep sleep. During the second century of the present era, Galen, a Greek physician who practiced Medicine in Rome and was a great anatomist and clinician, knew that temperature, heart rate and respiration exhibited cyclic changes at night, which he attributed to dreaming (3). Schmidt MH, Sakai K, Valatrix JL, Jouvet M. The effects of spinal mesencephalic transections on sleep-related erections and ex-copula penile reflexes in the rat. 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. The neurophysiological mechanisms of the postural and motor events during desynchronized sleep. Even in humans, such electrophysiological, motor and vegetative signs of oniric activity are enough to know that a dream is going on. 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. By measuring the voltage of the potential generated by the rotation it is possible to know if the object is near or far. Also, correlation is high when theta waves in the thalamic reticular nucleus are matched to those occurring in the nucleus reticularis pontis oralis. Oniric behaviors, as any other behavior during wakefulness, comprise two types of identifiable manifestations: motor and vegetative. 114. 136. 8600 Rockville Pike J Neurophysiol 1966;29:871-87. Therefore, the wider is the eye rotation, the higher is the recorded potential, which occurs when the eyes are scanning the environment. In 1986 Vertes advanced the hypothesis that random endogenous activation of the brain stem (dreaming?) Heart rate decreases down to nearly 150 bpm 1 or 2 seconds following the cessation of eye movements. In: Antrobus, J.S. In: M. C. Hepp-Reymond & G. Marini (eds.) Although related to the information fluxogram displayed in figure 2 of the present review, Hernandez-Pon's process involves the function of participating in "adaptive waking behavior", which does not seem to have a real meaning (136). 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. Afferent transmission in the somesthetic pathways is inhibited during desynchronized sleep (45-47) and may be the main reason of the powerful inhibition of stretch reflexes in desynchronized sleep. After transection of the brain stem at the pontomesencephalic transition, rostrally to locus coeruleus, desynchronized sleep still occurs below the transection (10,90-93). 22. 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. 61. 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). Editor-translator: Gallop, D., Aris & Phillips Ltd., Warminster, England 1991. Magoun HW, Rhines R. An inhibitory mechanism in the bulbar reticular formation. FOIA It is well known that during desynchronized sleep the pupil undergoes an increase in diameter (midriasis), which is not produced by direct sympathetic activation but rather to parasympathetic inactivation, that overcomes the tonic pupillary constrictor activity of the parasympathetic system during synchronized sleep. (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. 127. (ed. Studi Psicologici e Clinici di un Alienista. Sigmund Freuds theory of dreams suggests that dreams represent unconscious desires, thoughts, wish fulfillment, and motivations. J Neurophysiol 1938;1:413-30. 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. In 1896 Weed & Halam (4) published the first quantification of dreams content. 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). The Psychology of Dreaming. Jouvet M. Programmation gntique itrative et sommeil paradoxal. (eds. In: Baust, W. Mirmiran M, Van Someren E. The importance of REM sleep for brain maturation. C R S Soc Biol 1978;172:9-21. Timo-Iaria C, Negro N, Schmidek WR, Rocha TL, Hoshino K. Phases and states of sleep in the rat. 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. In Greece dreams were called oneiros, a word that originated the adjective oniric but that meant not exactly what was dreamed about neither the dreaming process, which was not rated as something important, but the phantasmata, i.e. A powerful defensive behavior, the withdrawal "reflex" (or retraction behavior, as we prefer to call it), is also completely inhibited during this phase of sleep.

Rapid increase of an immediate early gene messenger RNA in hippocampal neurons by synaptic NMDA receptor activation. (eds.) Progr Neurobiol 1984;22:241-88. Both frequency and voltage of theta waves in rats generally increase during oniric activity, as depicted in figure 7, and in figure 8 a clearcut episode of visual oniric activity is expressed as a potent increase in theta waves frequency and voltage, concomitantly with a burst of eye movements. A dream is a conscious experience that occurs during sleep. J Neurophysiol 1954;17:532-57. Generation of sleep is reasonably well known but not that of dreaming. Kahn D, Pace-Schott EF, Hobson JA. 39. Wilson MA, McNaughton BL. 33. As pointed This theory is supported by the fact that the body has decreased metabolism by up to 10% during sleep. Evarts EV. Carcione A, Santonastaso M, Sferruzza F, Riccardi I. Res Psychother. 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. 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. Karger, Basel, 1997:65-76. 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. 85. Analysis of the electro-oscillograms yields extremely relevant information that can be correlated with movements and changes in heart rate, blood pressure and respiration. 41. In: C. Guilleminaut, W. C. Dement and P. Passouant (eds.) Neuroscience 1997;81:893-926. It has been proposed (120,123,124) that presleep mentation is infrequently incorporated in top dreams and that "naturalistic" day time events rarely enter dream content, but several authors correlated dream content to the previous day events, starting with Aristotle 2,400 years ago and with Calkins in 1893. A regular oscillation modulates the amplitude of the potentials. 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. Such a configuration is subsequently compared to memorized patterns and then, and only then, it can be identified by means of the conscious process. Many hypotheses have been advanced but so far they do not explain why and what for we do dream. Wehr TA. Van de Castle RL. Douglas NJ. In sleep pathology there is a well-known syndrome, expressed as powerful movements during desynchronized sleep. Oswald I. Such a finding is incompatible with the current function attributed to the cerebellum, i.e., only correction of movements. 58. 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. 17. Behav Brain Sci 2000;23:877-901. This may well reflect auditory dreams, as has been found in humans (36,37). Later, school and work dominate the mental field and the main features in dreams also change accordingly, supporting this hypothesis. Perspective of Motor Behavior and its Neural Basis. We propose that the function of dream sleep (more properly rapid-eye movement or REM sleep) is to remove certain undesirable modes of interaction in Disclaimer. ), Ermdung, Schlaf un Traum, Fischer Taschenbuch Verlag, Sttutgart 1971:123-172. By recording potentials from large ensembles of rat hippocampal neurons related to the body position in space (place cells) during behavioral tasks, Wilson & McNaughton (87) found that neurons that fired together when the animals occupied particular locations in the environment (hence the name place cells) also exhibited an increased tendency to fire together during subsequent sleep, in comparison to sleep episodes preceding the behavioral tasks. Esoteric power, useless, useful: considerations about dreams in cognitive-behavioural therapy. Baust W. Die Phnomenologie des Schlafes. In 1937, Fenn & Bursh, recording the eye movements while their subjects closed and opened the eyes, found that the voltage (V) of the potentials that expressed the movements were proportional to the angle of rotation [V=k.2.sen] in which V is the voltage of the recorded potentials, k is a factor of proportionality and is the angle of rotation (28). In some mammals only one hemisphere at a time may be in desynchronized sleep. during desynchronized sleep prevents sustained brain inactivity, which might occur during sleep. Several authors also quantified the kinds of dreams as related to their sensory content. Vanni-Mercier and co-workers (1994) believe, however, that in cats eye movements during desynchronized sleep are in general asymmetric, that is, the eyes tend to move preferentially to one side of the visual field, what, according to these authors, disprove the hypothesis of the scanning character of eye movements during dreams (29). 113. C R Soc Biol (Paris) 1969;163:181-6. This site needs JavaScript to work properly. Much experimental work is needed before a convincing function can be ascribed to the fascinating physiological phenomenon that is dreaming. Brain 1997;120:1173-97. 28. 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. 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. 101. In some animals, however, a reduction of heart rate and respiration may occur, what also happens during an attentive wakefulness if they are threatened.
