The other is that dreams are caused The subjects of dreams are broad-ranging and complex, incorporating self-image, fears, insecurities, strengths, grandiose ideas, sexual orientation, desire, jealousy and love". Federal government websites often end in .gov or .mil. Electrophysiological manifestations of wakefulness and desynchronized sleep in the rat. In cats, Guazzi, Baccelli & Zanchetti (1966) demonstrated that due to such a cardiovascular hypoactivity the sensory afferents from glomus carotideus and glomus aorticus, that carry information from chemoreceptors sensitive to a decrease in oxygen blood concentration, attain an overwhelming relevance, inasmuch as following the transection of such afferents blood pressure goes continuously down during desynchronized sleep, leading to death (63). The atonia of myoclonia of active (REM) sleep. Moruzzi's coined the name desynchronized sleep, which we prefer, because in humans desynchronization is the main electrophysiological marker of this phase. Shiromani PJ, Winston S, McCarley RW. Behav Brain Res 1997;84:109-16. The case against memory consolidation in REM sleep. 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). 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. In some animals, however, a reduction of heart rate and respiration may occur, what also happens during an attentive wakefulness if they are threatened. Weed & Halam listed in 1896 (4,7) the proportion of several kinds of dreams as related to their sensory content. Longitudinal studies. 93. As any neural information, it has to be analyzed, so that the nervous impulses, which carry it be decoded and integrated as a specific neural configuration, that contains all the information released (or revoked) from the mnemonic archives. eCollection 2019. The ancient Chinese scientific inquiry tried to understand dreaming but usually also considered them mistically. 129. Elsevier Publishing Company Amsterdam, 1962. Doneshka P, Kehaiyov A. 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. 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. 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). Les Belles Lettres, Paris 1978. 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). 120. Despite several demonstrations that this hypothesis is correct, a few argue against such a view. Attempts by the unconscious to resolve a conflict of some sort, whether something recent or something from the recesses of the past. Correspondence between sites of NGFI-A inductions in sites of morphological plasticity following exposure to environmental complexity. Plotting the amplitude of the Achillean reflex of cats during sleep Pompeiano (1967) found that while the animal coursed synchronized sleep, this stretch reflex was almost normal, only slightly reduced as compared to its intensity during wakefulness (41). On Sleep and Dreams. 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. Jouvet M. Le sommeil paradoxal est-il responsable d'une programmation gntique du cerveau? Fortunately, thanks to this peculiar incomplete motoneuron inhibition we are able to record movements occurring in both humans and non-human animals and thus infer the presence of dreams. Whereas Freud was convinced that dream forgetting was an active function of repression, Hobson, Pace-Schott & Stickgold (2000) attribute the failure to recall a dream to a state-dependent amnesia caused by aminergic demodulation of the sleeping brain (120). 125. 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. ), Ermdung, Schlaf und Traum, Fischer Taschenbuch Verlag, Sttutgart 1971:173-242. Kohyama T, Hori A, Sato T, Nikami T, yamaki T, Veda S. Changes in cerebral blood flow velocity in healthy young men during overnight sleep and while awake. Front Neurol. 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. Regional cerebral glucose metabolic rate in human sleep assessed by positron emission tomography. 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. Perspective of Motor Behavior and its Neural Basis. He properly related such dreams to his concern with that important war. Vogel GW, Foulkes D, Trosman H. Ego functions and dreaming during sleep onset. Science 1994;265:676-9. Now, the recent advent of deep neural networks (DNNs) has finally provided the novel conceptual framework within which to understand It has, however, been utilized with a great success in sleep studies. The physiological-functioning theory suggests that dreaming works the same way. World Fed Sleep Res Soc Newsletter 1997;5:20-1. 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). WebAs the foregoing discussion of rival theories of dream function suggests, there are many findings that contradict the idea that dreams have any kind of physiological or Spectrum, New york 1976:411-449. 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 Brainstem control of the events of REM sleep. Pontine cholinergic neurons show fos-like immunoreactivity associated with cholinergically induced REM sleep. (1999) (126,127,129,130). 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. Jung R, Kornmller AE. 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. 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. Control of ventilation during sleep. 74. Takakusaki K, Ohta y, Mori S. Single medullary reticulospinal neurons exert postsynaptic inhibitory effects via inhibitory interneurons upon alpha-motoneurons innervating cat hindlimb muscles. In: M. C. Hepp-Reymond & G. Marini (eds.) 126. Researchers working on dream usually do not believe that dreaming may occur in non-human animals, probably due to religious and philosophical reasons but also to a great mistake, i.e., that dreaming is a high level mental activity, such as doing mathematics, but it is not. 97. With developments in understanding of the neurophysiology of REM sleep, new theories of dreaming were proposed. 86. (1991) and Lovblad et al. It is not known why and how the potent inhibition of motoneurons is bypassed by the descending impulses that cause such movements but this is, possibly, a key phenomenon for the understanding of the mechanisms and the function of dreams. The main purpose of experimental decerebration is to study the mechanisms of the fundamental posture, that is, the standing posture. This causes the amygdala and hippocampus to become active, which help to influence the brain systems that control sensations, memories, and emotions. PMC The .gov means its official. Fenn WO, Hursh JB. 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. 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. In 1963 we found that cholinergic stimulation of a descending pathway (within Nauta's limbic-mesencephalic system) causes sleep (33). Selective deactivation of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex has been found in desynchronized sleep. 11. 111. 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). 127. 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). 40. In: Pompeiano, O. 94. 28. Rerum Natura, I et II. 2022 Nov 3;12(11):1832. doi: 10.3390/jpm12111832. Proc Natl Acad Sci 1989;86:8737-41. 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). Esoteric power, useless, useful: considerations about dreams in cognitive-behavioural therapy. The oscillation of the sleep depth as cycles, as is well known presently, is quite clear in this figure. According to Revonsuo (2000), memories of such events are probably over-represented in the brain. 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. In: Baust, W. Assoc Psychophysiol Stud Sleep. Arch Ital Biol 1969;107:175-216. Timo-Iaria C, Negro N, Schmidek WR, Rocha TL, Hoshino K. Phases and states of sleep in the rat. Several authors also quantified the kinds of dreams as related to their sensory content. 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. Mol Brain Sci 1995;32:211-20. Springer Verlag, Frankfurt 1953. If the animal is kept alive by forced feeding and is kept warm, in six days frontal desynchronization and theta waves in the other cortical areas reappear and then not only wakefulness is fully recovered but also desynchronized sleep, including oniric activity. Brain Develop 1994;16:81-91. 18. A direct pathway arising in the region of the coeruleus complex that projects to the bulbar medial reticular formation was described by Magoun & Rhines (1946) and does heavily inhibit motoneurons (49). 33. 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. Baldissera F, Cesa-Bianchi MG, Mancia M. Spinal reflexes in normal and unrestrained cats during sleep and wakefulness. Central activation of autonomic effectors during mental stimulation of motor activity in man. 57. 21. Changes in hippocampal gene expression associated with the induction of long-term potentiation. 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. Ann Rev Psychol 1990;41:557-884. In: The Neuropsychology of Sleep and Dreaming, Antrobus, J. S. & Bertini, M. sharing sensitive information, make sure youre on a federal eCollection 2017. The command character of theta waves is probably the reason why such potentials occur almost simultaneously in different brain structures. Thomas J, Benoit O. Individualisation d'un sommeil ondes lentes et activit phasique. 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). 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. J Neurophysiol 1946;9:165-71. 34. Although it may happen in any sleep phase, it prevails during the desynchronized phase. 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. Freuds wish-fulfillment. Vertes RB, Eastman KE. Braz J Med Biol Res 1992;5:745-50. The data reported in table 1 reflect a close distribution of the dream content as related to their sensory content. WebExplanation of Physiological function theory This may be true, but it does not explain why we experience meaningful dreams Critical considerations of Physiological function 105. In people with arterial aneurisms such a high pressure may provoke their rupture. 54. The meaning of dreams is therefore still an unsolved problem. Where do dreams come from? In decerebrate cats eye movements do occur and are integrated below the midbrain (67,95). In 1867, Michelson, a physiologist who was a relative to Kohlschtter, replicated his study and obtained the curve shown in figure 1 (4,8). This allows us to see the irrational as a normal event, while emotional processing and symbolic identities can be explored. Physiol Rev 1967;47:117-77. 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. Arch Ital Biol 1962;100:216-22. We spend a lot of time sleeping. 107. Brain activity during this time keeps us functioning and ready to process information when we wake up the next morning! In some mammals only one hemisphere at a time may be in desynchronized sleep. 112. 55. 52. Roldan E, Weiss TT. As such, this explanation may be interpreted as a way of doing something that we should never be allowed to do without paying for it. Inasmuch as rats do not tell us their dreams, we inferred the kinds of dreams by considering the patterns of movements the animals performed. In this review, the neural circuits underlying dreaming and the physiological functions associated with it are summarized. Arch Psychiat Nervenkrankh 1938;109:1-17. A theory that has many 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. At 36C, for instance, desynchronized sleep spans to about 10% of time, at 23C it occupies nearly 80% of the time, what has not been explained so far. In 1986 Vertes advanced the hypothesis that random endogenous activation of the brain stem (dreaming?) Brain Res 1970;19:263-75. 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. Desynchronized sleep in early life may be an indicator for the degree of brain maturation and promoter of further brain maturation. & Ajmone-Marsan, C. Green JD, Arduini A. Hippocampal activity in arousal. Metabolism during desynchronized sleep tends, in fact, to be equal to or even larger than that of waking (131,132). 1. John Wiley and Sons, New york 1982. In fact, we ignore almost completely why we dream. Mirmiran M, Van Someren E. The importance of REM sleep for brain maturation. Mirmiran M. The function of fetal neonatal rapid eye movement sleep. The American psychologist Mary Whiton Calkins published in 1893 an important, although entirely unkwnown, article under the title Statistics of Dreams, wherein she introduced the technique of arousing people when they moved parts of the body during sleep and asking them to report their dreams (4,7). Curr Opin Neurobiol 1992;2:759-63. 131. Winson (1990) believes that dreams "reflect an individual strategy for survival. 64. Neurology 1999;53:2193-5. 60. 76. FOIA However, psychoanalysts take into account only a few dreams that are occasionally recalled, despite the fact that we dream four or five episodes every night, what means that the fraction of dreams we can recall is a small portion of what we in fact do experience as dreams. 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. Kuboyama T, Hori A, Sato T, Mikami T, yamaki T, Ueda S. Changes in cerebral blood flow velocity in healthy young men during overnight sleep and while awake.Electroencephalogr Clin Neurophysiol 1997;102:125-31. 62. Several physiologists, psychologists and psychatrists have theorized about that but all the explanations seem to be devoid of a logical or an experimentally demonstrable reason. Baldissera F, Broggi G. An analysis of potential changes in the spinal cord during desynchronized sleep. This neural activity is then interpreted by the brain as an internal activity. 2021 Aug 30;24(2):543. doi: 10.4081/ripppo.2021.543. Some scientists take the position that dreaming probably has no function. Fos-like immunoreactivity was also found in association with cholinergically induced REM sleep (107,108). Cesar Timo-Iaria (in memorian); Angela Cristina do Valle. 73. The https:// ensures that you are connecting to the Maquet P, Pters J, Aerts J, Delfiore G, Degueldre C, Luxen A, Franck G. Nature. 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. Exploring the neural correlates of dream phenomenology and altered states of consciousness during sleep. 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. Ribeiro S, Goyal V, Mello CV, Pavlides C. Brain gene expression during REM sleep depends on prior waking experience. Plato, despite his logical view of dreams, antecipated by 24 centuries one of the dogmas of psychoanalysis, stating that the dreams with a sexual background, mainly those with an incestuous content, and those in which the dreamer attacked or even killed someone, did, in fact, represent occult wishes that only could be fulfilled without punishment as an oniric experience. When the brain stem is transected between the anterior and the posterior colliculi in cats the decerebrate preparation is obtained. Gardner Jr R, Grossman WI, Roffwarg HP, Weiner H. The relationship of small limb movements during REM sleep to dreamed limb action. Confrontations Psychiatriques 1986;27:153-81. 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). 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. Solms M. Dreaming and REM sleep are controlled by different brain mechanisms. The other is that dreams are caused by forebrain activation by dopamine. The meaning of dreams. 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. physiological function. J Neurophysiol 1977;40:284-95. Some more recent theories of dreaming emphasize an adaptive function related to emotion and a role in learning and memory consolidation. Inasmuch as dreaming seems to occur in most birds and mammals, it is unlikely that it has no function in the animal organism. Klein M, Michel F, Jouvet M. tude polygraphique du sommeil chez les oiseaux. Control of upper airway motoneurons during REM sleep. On the other hand, cells that were silent during the behavioral task did not show the increase in frequency. The result of such conscious identification is a dream. Braz J Med Biol Res 1990;23:617-20. Brain Res 1990;517:224-8. Our data with rats are quite consistent as to the variation of blood pressure and heart rate during oniric activity. Arch Ital Biol 1965;103:369-96. Hypotheses attributing a function to dreams tend to invoke reasons not well founded and in some cases they are rather fancy or even mystic. 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. As a matter of fact, manifestations of dreaming have been identified in many species, including chickens, chimpanzees, cats, rats and in some birds. 4. 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. Spreng LF, Johnson LC, Lubin A. Autonomic correlates of eye movement bursts during state REM sleep. Figure 9 illustrates an episode of olfactory and vibrissal movements. Electroencephal Clin Neurophysiol 1987;66:383-90. Brain Develop (Tokyo) 1992;14:109-20. University of Chicago Press, Chicago 1963. Figure 6 shows an increase in heart rate from 150 bpm to 180 bpm (the latter is the normal heart rate during resting wakefulness in this species), coinciding with the peak of eye movements. 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. (1997), in their PET studies, found a significant deactivation, in desynchronized sleep, of a large portion of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, what was found also by Madsen et al. Disclaimer. Brain Res Bull 1992;28:479-84. Roussy F, Camirand C, Foulkes D, De Koninck J, Loftis M, Kerr NH. 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). However, reflex penile erection is facilitated after spinal transection whereas mesencephalic transections significantly increase the latency to its reflex induction, without affecting the percentage of tests eliciting an erectile event. 2020 Nov 12;11:565694. doi: 10.3389/fneur.2020.565694. A theory that has many followers is the one that connects dreams, in particular, desynchronized sleep in general, with memory consolidation. Axons from neurons of the nucleus reticularis gigantocellularis descend along the ventral and ventrolateral funiculi and connect with inhibitory interneurons in the spinal cord (55,56). Such movements may take the sleeper to fall off the bed. Miyauchi et al. Some peculiarities of the dreams of patients with vestibular diseases. Science 1953;118:273-4. 23. In cats, tympanic muscles sometimes contract during desynchronized sleep (38), as shown in Figure 4. Brain Res 2002, submitted. Timo-Iaria C, yamashita R, Hoshino K, Sousa-Melo A. 135. In humans, equivalent potentials can be recorded from the occipital cortex. Our hypothesis is that the cerebellum is involved in overall corrections of the components of all kinds of behavior, including sleep. Hernndez-Pen R. A neurophysiologic model of dreams and hallucinations. Gottesman C, Gandolfo G, Zernicki B. 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).
