Unlocking REM Sleep and Ultrasound Innovations
This chapter explores the complex nature of REM sleep, comparing its EEG patterns and neuromodulatory influences to non-REM sleep. It introduces the innovative use of ultrasound technology for non-invasive brain stimulation, particularly in regulating sleep-wake states and the mechanisms of memory consolidation and dreaming. The discussion emphasizes the significance of specific neurotransmitters and ongoing research aimed at understanding the intricate relationships between sleep, brain activity, and potential therapeutic applications.
