AI Article Synopsis
- A 24-year-old woman had a hematoma in her left pons, causing noticeable differences in her EEG during REM sleep on that side of her brain.
- The study indicates that having a lesion in one part of the pons is enough to disturb normal REM sleep activity in the corresponding hemisphere.
- Despite the EEG changes, other aspects of REM sleep, like rapid eye movements and muscle atonia, remained normal.
Article Abstract
A 24-year-old woman with a left pontine hematoma showed marked asymmetry in the EEG of REM sleep, suggesting that a unilateral pontine lesion is sufficient to disrupt normal REM sleep EEG in the ipsilateral hemisphere. Other REM sleep characteristics (rapid eye movements, muscle atonia) were unaffected by this lesion.

Effect of lemborexant on sleep architecture in participants with insomnia disorder and mild obstructive sleep apnea.

Eisai Inc., 200 Metro Blvd, Nutley, NJ, 07110, USA.
Objective/background: Comorbid insomnia with obstructive sleep apnea (COMISA) is associated with worse daytime function and more medical/psychiatric comorbidities vs either condition alone. COMISA may negatively impact sleep duration and reduce rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, thereby impairing cognition. These post-hoc analyses evaluated the effect of lemborexant (LEM), a dual-orexin-receptor antagonist approved for adults with insomnia, on sleep architecture in participants with COMISA.

Background: Isolated rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) is characterized by abnormal behaviors in REM sleep and is considered as a prodromal symptom of alpha-synucleinopathies. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsfMRI) studies have unveiled altered functional connectivity (rsFC) in patients with iRBD. However, the associations between intra- and inter-network rsFC with clinical symptoms and neuropsychological functioning in iRBD remain unclear.

Non-motor symptoms (NMS) in Parkinson's disease (PD) significantly impact quality of life, especially in later stages. REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) affects approximately 42% of all PD patients and frequently precedes motor PD symptoms. RBD is linked to increased rates of depression and cognitive decline.

Background: Isolated rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) is characterized by loss of the normal atonia of REM sleep accompanied by repetitive motor and behavior phenomena of dream content.
Objective: To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the original form of the Innsbruck Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Behavior Disorder Diagnostic Inventory (IRBD-9) scale (IRBD-9-TR) and ensure that this screening test can be easily used in the Turkish language.
Methods: The present is a multicenter and prospective study involving 184 patients: 51 with iRBD and 133 healthy controls.
"Multimodal Sleep Signal Tensor Decomposition and Hidden Markov Modeling for Temazepam-Induced Anomalies Across Age Groups".

Background: Recent advances in multimodal signal analysis enable the identification of subtle drug-induced anomalies in sleep that traditional methods often miss.
New Method: We develop and introduce the Dynamic Representation of Multimodal Activity and Markov States (DREAMS) framework, which embeds explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) techniques to model hidden state transitions during sleep using tensorized EEG, EMG, and EOG signals from 22 subjects across three age groups (18-29, 30-49, and 50-66 years). By combining Tucker decomposition with probabilistic Hidden Markov Modeling, we quantified age-specific, temazepam-induced hidden states and significant differences in transition probabilities.
