Meanings of paradoxical sleep in English

The latency to the first occurrence of paradoxical sleep was also prolonged.

Other experiments have focused on the muscle atonia of paradoxical sleep.

Isolated paradoxical sleep episodes preceded and followed by more than 3 minutes of wakefulness or slow wave sleep were analyzed.

Large-amplitude waves recorded in the pontine tegmentum, lateral geniculate body and visual cortex herald the onset and continue throughout paradoxical sleep.

The hypothesis that cats exhibiting paradoxical sleep (PS) without atonia are more active than normal in wakefulness was tested.

The Tco, Tibat, and Tl levels were also assessed during the slow wave sleep that preceded each isolated paradoxical sleep episode.

We tested the hypothesis that the thermal state of the liver is preserved during slow wave sleep but deteriorates during paradoxical sleep.

The enhancement of arousal was accompanied by a marked reduction in paradoxical sleep and deep slow wave sleep at the highest dose.

Either no recovery or else eventual recovery to excessively active periods of paradoxical sleep while remaining recumbent characterized the sleep of the other four.

Studies of large-amplitude waves, which characteristically occur spontaneously just prior to and during paradoxical sleep, have demonstrated that the waves are signs of alerting.

During paradoxical sleep, however, these 2 temperatures decreased in rats exposed to the cold condition, and the changes observed for Tco were completely inversed.

Our studies suggest that paradoxical sleep is a state in which the brainstem is in a functional mode normally associated with presentations of novel stimuli.

These observations indicate that the central nervous system during paradoxical sleep is in a "peculiar" state of activation which is not behaviorally expressed.

Since consolidation of several forms of memory is facilitated by paradoxical sleep (PS) we ask whether PS modulates the cellular and molecular pathways underlying LTP.

These waves, termed ponto-geniculooccipital (PGO) spikes, can be induced during both slow wave and paradoxical sleep by external stimuli at a threshold below actual arousal.

Study objectives: Paradoxical sleep (PS) has been shown to play an important role in memory, in particular in emotional memory processes.
