The effect of paradoxical sleep deprivation on the retention of passive avoidance was studied in rats. The analysis of the data obtained shows that paradoxical sleep deprivation produces impairment of the criterian of passive avoidance retention, latency prolongation of this reaction and augmentation of rat's motor activity in open field. It may be suggested that impairment of the criterion might be due to enhancement of motor activity, rather than to deprivation of paradoxical sleep per se.

Hand dominance shift during sleep in sexsomnia: a clue to pathophysiology?

J Clin Sleep Med

January 2025

Minnesota Regional Sleep Disorders Center, and Departments of Psychiatry, Hennepin County Medical Center, and University of Minnesota Medical School, Minneapolis, MN.

Study Objectives: To elucidate whether awake handedness in sexsomnia is retained during sleep to uncover potential clues about the underlying neurophysiologic mechanisms.

Methods: Participants' and observers' self-reported handedness during sexsomnia events.

Results: Case 1: A 22 y/o right-handed female with an eight-year history of nocturnal sleep-related masturbatory behavior (SMB) involving the left hand (LH) exclusively.

Objective: Submandibular salivary gland inflammation has been suggested as one of the mechanisms underlying impaired salivary secretion associated with sleep deprivation (SD). However, whether the salivary inflammatory response occurs to the same extent in paradoxical sleep deprivation with or without sleep recovery remains unknown. This study evaluated the extent to which inflammation influences salivary impairments associated with paradoxical sleep deprivation with or without sleep recovery.

Audiovisual analysis of the diagnostic video polysomnography in patients with isolated REM sleep behavior disorder.

J Neurol

January 2025

Sleep Unit, Neurology Service, Hospital Clínic Barcelona, IDIBAPS, CIBERNED, Universitat de Barcelona, Villarroel 170, 08036, Barcelona, Spain.

Background: The diagnosis of isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (IRBD) requires video polysomnography (V-PSG) showing increased muscle activity and abnormal behaviors in REM sleep.

Objective: To describe in IRBD the behavioral manifestations occurring during REM sleep in the diagnostic V-PSG.

Methods: This is a systematic audiovisual V-PSG analysis of consecutive IRBD patients.

Study Objectives: Poor sleep may play a role in the risk of dementia. However, few studies have investigated the association between polysomnography (PSG)-derived sleep architecture and dementia incidence. We examined the relationship between sleep macro-architecture and dementia incidence across five US-based cohort studies from the Sleep and Dementia Consortium (SDC).
