Jung R, Kornmller AE. However, considering the high prevalence of dreams during this phase it should be more appropriately named oniric phase of sleep. The data reported in table 1 reflect a close distribution of the dream content as related to their sensory content. Careers. Douglas NJ. In humans, both reflex activities are also deeply inhibited during desynchronized sleep. Motoneuron inhibition is mild in the early post-birth days and increases according to a saturation curve (60). The dream between neuroscience and psychoanalysis. Braun et al. Kluger J. Physiol Behav 1970;5:402-7. Braz J Med Biol Res 1996;29:1645-50. 82. 3. Vanni-Mercier G, Pelisson D, Goffart L, Sakai K, Jouvet M. Eye saccade dynamics during paradoxical sleep in the cat. 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). As mentioned above, Plato, preceding by twenty four centuries one of the dogmas of psychoanalysis, believed that "forbidden" dreams, such as incestuous or criminal dreams, were only a way of doing incestual sex or killing someone without punishment.

Peyrethon J, Dusan-Peyrethon D. tude polygraphique du cycle veille-sommeil chez trois genres de rptiles. 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. 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. 116. Nature 1989;340:474-6. Time course of foslike immunoreactivity associated with cholinergically induced REM sleep. Exp Brain Res 1989;74:11-23. Xu Q, Xie H, Zheng D, Wu X, Zhang Y, Li T, Yan T.

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. J Physiol (London) 1993;461:549-63. 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. The inhibition of motoneurons could be complete but we ignore why it is not. WebPhysiological function Theory regular brain stimulation from REM sleep may help develop and preserve neural pathways. 84. Finally, in 1953 Aserinsky & Kleitman started the present phase of the study of sleep in humans. 2. 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. Consciousness in waking and dreaming: the roles of neuronal oscillation and neuromodulation in determining similarities and differences. The .gov means its official. Crick F, Mitchison G. The function of dream sleep. Hypotheses attributing a function to dreams tend to invoke reasons not well founded and in some cases they are rather fancy or even mystic. In rats we found similar potentials in the amygdala as related to olfactory dreams, expressed as rostrum movements (32). Behav Brain Sci 2000;23:793-842. 26. The latter are absolutely necessary for any neural activity to occur, inasmuch as the oxygen required by the nervous system amounts to 20% of the total oxygen consumption (near ten times as much as the average of the body as a whole). Aristotle. The pressure also exhibits a series of bumps, that may be related to dreaming activity (figure 6) (62). We spend a lot of time sleeping. 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). (eds.) Predicting Intention to Participate in Community Physical Activities for Adults with Physical Disabilities. Our hypothesis is that the cerebellum is involved in overall corrections of the components of all kinds of behavior, including sleep. When a dream is a nightmare, both motor and vegetative events may be very intense. 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. Eine Methodik der Ableitung localisierter Potentialschwankungen aus subcortikalen Hirngebieten. Baldissera F, Cesa-Bianchi MG, Mancia M. Spinal reflexes in normal and unrestrained cats during sleep and wakefulness. Braz J Med Biol Res 1992;5:745-50. Decety J, Jeannerod M, Durozard DR, Baveal J. Contemporary neuroscientific theories often view dreams as epiphenomena, and many of the proposals for their biological function are contradicted by the phenomenology of dreams themselves. Inasmuch as all this relevant knowledge is entirely ignored, we hope the present review may help in rescuing it (4). Recall of dreams is much greater and the report is much more detailed when one is awakened during desynchronized sleep and the stage I of synchronized sleep, right after alpha waves disappear and are replaced by a lower frequency and lower voltage electro-oscillographic pattern (22,23). Epub 2009 Oct 1. 6. Vertes RB, Eastman KE. 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.

Regional cerebral glucose metabolic rate in human sleep assessed by positron emission tomography. 109. 97. 101. 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. Experimental study. 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. John Wiley and Sons, New york 1982. Exptl Neurol 1963;8:93-111. Sci Am 1990;263:86-8,90-2,94-6. Mori D, Shik ML, yagodnitsyn AS. 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. 105. Table 1 shows the results of some of such studies, including our data concerning nearly 2,000 dreaming episodes recorded from rats. Berlucchi G. Mechanismen von Schlafen und Wachen.

Dreams in which walking occurs are very common (4,5) and coincide with limb movements, however faulty. In ancient Greece, Socrates, Plato and Aristotle discussed about the meaning of dreams, concluding that the prevailing mistic and mythic concepts about them were incorrect. What is the 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). Esoteric power, useless, useful: considerations about dreams in cognitive-behavioural therapy. Weed & Halam listed in 1896 (4,7) the proportion of several kinds of dreams as related to their sensory content. 13. San Diego, 1973. Curr Opin Neurobiol 1992;2:759-63. Timo-Iaria C. Early research on dreaming. 91. 128. NeuroReport 1995;6:532-6. J Neurophysiol 1977;40:284-95. Gassel MM, Marchiafava PL, Pompeiano O. Heart rate decreases down to nearly 150 bpm 1 or 2 seconds following the cessation of eye movements. during desynchronized sleep prevents sustained brain inactivity, which might occur during sleep. Thus, any study of dreaming also lends itself to psychological scrutiny and clinical application. Oswald I. Intermediate state of sleep in the cat. 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. Control of ventilation during sleep. 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. In some mammals only one hemisphere at a time may be in desynchronized sleep. A theory that has many followers is the one that connects dreams, in particular, desynchronized sleep in general, with memory consolidation. Rados R, Cartwright RD. Functional neuroanatomy of human rapid-eye-movement sleep and dreaming. Although it has not been shown that the alpha-coeruleus nuclei are lesioned in these patients, it is tempting to consider that their lesion underlies such sleep disturbance. Moruzzi G. Action inhibitrice du palocervelet sur les reflexes circulatoires et respiratoires d'origine sino-carotidinne. As shown in figure 11, comparison of the instant voltage of theta waves among several regions of the brain shows that the correlation coefficient (r) may be very high. 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. Front Neurol. 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. He properly related such dreams to his concern with that important war. 55. 2022 Nov 3;12(11):1832. doi: 10.3390/jpm12111832. 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. 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. 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. 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. A theory that has many Its is noteworthy that Weed & Halam's data, published in 1896, are close to those reported by Rechtschaffen & Buchignani in 1992, which was calculated as the mean of the average of seven different studies published by other authors (40). Much effort was devoted to searching for parallels between physiological aspects of REM sleep and characteristics of associated dreams, with modest results. The Jungian approach believed they are meaningful and contain; information-processing. Desynchronized sleep can be provoked by carbachol infusion in the pontine reticular formation (94). 127.

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. 60. Kuboyama T, Hori A, Sato T, Mikami T, yamaki T, Ueda S.

Vogel GW, Foulkes D, Trosman H. Ego functions and dreaming during sleep onset. WebThe 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. There is experimental evidence that eye movements are generated near the nucleus of the abducent nerve but Pompeiano (1967) does not agree with this view (10,41). 30. According to Hobson, Pace-Schotter & Stickgold (2000), since image studies show activation of "limbic" and "paralimbic" structures of the forebrain during desynchronized sleep, as compared to wakefulness (120,126-128), emotion may be a primary shaper of dream plots, rather than playing a secondary role plot instigation. Science 1953;118:273-4. Such patterns mimic oniric eye movements, which may occur in functional coincidence or not with the visual scenes that are dreamed of. Electroencephal Clin Neurophysiol 1966;21:562-77. 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). 2011 Dec;20(4):998-1008. doi: 10.1016/j.concog.2010.10.005. 4 According to Freud, 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. It is interesting to consider that while muscles all over the body are paralyzed during sleep, respiration is little affected, except that some muscles in the upper respiratory airways are inhibited during sleep (44). 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). Human regional cerebral blood flow during rapid eye movement sleep. PMC Assoc Psychophysiol Stud Sleep. government site. Please enable it to take advantage of the complete set of features! Neurons from the nucleus reticularis pontis oralis send fibers to nucleus reticularis gigantocellularis in the medulla, a part of which passes through the dorsal tegmental field of the pons, and electrical stimulation of both nuclei also produces inhibition of muscle tone (53,54). Considering that most dreams in rats (31,32) are related to olfaction, not to vision, potentials that resemble PGOs in the amygdala of this animal species should also be taken as signs of dreaming rather than PGOs. Schmidek WR, Hoshino K, Schmidek M, Timo-Iaria C. Influence of environmental temperature on the sleep-wakefulness cycle in the rat. 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. An analysis of the supraspinal influences acting on motoneurons during sleep in the unrestrained cat. World Fed Sleep Res Soc Newsletter 1997;5:22-3. 76. J Abnorm Psychol 1982;91:433-6. 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. This allows us to see the irrational as a normal event, while emotional processing and symbolic identities can be explored. 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. 44. Timo-Iaria C, yamashita R, Hoshino K, Sousa-Melo A. Rostrum movements in desynchronized sleep as a prevalent manifestation of dreaming activity in Wistar rats.

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. Villablanca J. Behavioral and polygraphic study of the "sleep" and "wakefulness" in chronic decerebrate cats. Brain Res 1970;19:263-75. Recordings of the electrical activity of the brain, which we will refer to as electro-oscillograms, reveal specific patterns that express the phases of sleep in several central regions of the brain, including the phase during which most oniric activity takes place, the desynchronized or paradoxical sleep. 2019 Oct 22;10:1127. doi: 10.3389/fneur.2019.01127. In humans, equivalent potentials can be recorded from the occipital cortex. Darwin C. The Expression of Emotions in Man and Animals. Similarly, in rats any kind of sensory stimulation does immediately mobilize sniffing and vibrissal scanning movements. Hobson JA, Pace-Schott EF, Stickgold R. Dreaming and the brain: toward a cognitive neuroscience of conscious states. Confrontations Psychiatriques 1986;27:153-81. 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. 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 Eye movements in born-blinds are probably due to a quite different reason. (eds.) Timo-Iaria C, Negro N, Schmidek WR, Rocha TL, Hoshino K. Phases and states of sleep in the rat. 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. Perachio AA. For the first time, direct and systematic investigation could be made of such topics as the occurrence, qualities, recollection, and childhood development of dreaming. 114. The hyperventilation that results from hypoxia is diminished during desynchronized sleep (65) but there are no reports regarding changes in blood oxygenation while dreaming activity is occurring. ", "As to the oviparous creatures, it is obvious that they sleep but it is impossible to state that they dream. Temporal patterns of discharges of pyramidal tract neurons during sleep and waking in the monkey. The site is secure. 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. 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. 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. Progr Neurobiol 1984;22:241-88. Brain Res 1990;517:224-8. Oka T, Iwakiri H, Mori S. Pontine-induced generalized suppression of postural muscle tone in a reflexively standing acute decerebrate cat. Doctoral thesis, Federal University of So Paulo, 1995. 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. Carcione A, Santonastaso M, Sferruzza F, Riccardi I. Res Psychother. Essential manifestations of dreaming are the conscious experience, the electrophysiological, the motor and the vegetative expression of oniric behaviors in humans as well as in other animals. J Neurophysiol 1938;1:413-30. Hobson JA. J Cerebr Blood Flow Metab 1991;11:502-7. 71. In cats, Baust (1971) recorded tachycardia starting 1 or 2 seconds before eye movements appear (38). Silent functional magnetic resonance imaging demonstrates focal activation in rapid eye movement sleep. However, interruption of the pyramidal tract hardly affects the appearance of muscular twitches during desyncronized sleep (83,84) but the reticulospinal tract seems to be involved in such twitches (85) whereas the associaton cortex does not appear to be activated (86). Central activation of autonomic effectors during mental stimulation of motor activity in man. 31. 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. 48. Some more recent theories of dreaming emphasize an adaptive function related to emotion and a role in learning and memory consolidation. General Learning Press, 1970. Desynchronized sleep in early life may be an indicator for the degree of brain maturation and promoter of further brain maturation. 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.

During REM sleep, several physiological changes also take place. eCollection 2019. Some presently available explanations seem science fiction, rather than true science. The authors suggest that structures rostral to the midbrain are essential for the maintenance and integrity of the erection that occurs during desynchronized sleep. 93. 20. The value of r is as high as 0.9618 when theta waves in the hippocampal CA1 field of one side are matched with those in the nucleus reticularis pontis oralis, what points to a close temporal relationship between theta waves in hippocampus and in the nucleus reticularis pontis oralis. J Sleep Res 1993;2:63-9. These interneurons inhibit motoneurons by means of glycinergic synapses (glycine is a powerful inhibitory neurotransmitter), as shown by Soja et al. 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. However, they ignored that the dreams were produced by the brain. 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. Aristotle (1), who had carefully observed several animal species while asleep, noticed that movements of several of their body parts were quite similar to those performed by humans during dreaming. A dream is a conscious experience that occurs during sleep. 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. Modifications of recurrent discharge of the alpha motoneurons during sleep. This is an additional fact to point to the activation of other mechanisms capable of producing wakefulness and desynchronized sleep, including dreaming. 42. The Psychology of Dreaming. 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. Some scientists take the position that dreaming probably has no function. New findings on the neurological organization of dreaming: implications for psychoanalysis. As any information consciously identified, a dream triggers a specific behavior, that we call an oniric behavior. WebThis theory also implies that dreams are not independently functional but rather a coproduct of the sleeping brain, reflecting the dreamers physiological and psychological Kleitman N. Sleep and Wakefulness. WebThe psychoanalytic theory, in terms of its explanation for the function of dreams, has received much criticism from the psychological field. & Ajmone-Marsan, C. Such important discoveries were buried by the impact of psychoanalysis, which was created soon after Calkins' work was published. 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. 96. 115. Experientia 1964;20:1-3. Roldan E, Weiss TT. Dement WC. Winson (1990) believes that dreams "reflect an individual strategy for survival. 4. Revonsuo A.
