Sustained facial muscle activity during REM sleep and its correlation with depression

摘要: Recently, we proposed that the coupling of cognitive activation and diminished arousal during REM sleep may have a mood regulating effect. Conversely, increased be associated with dysregulation. In this paper, desensitization model is described, data are presented on association between motor activity sleep, wakefulness severity depression. Motor EEG two measures depressive (BDI HRSD) were obtained from 23 depressed patients. BDI scores significantly correlated only sleep. HRSD quiet wakefulness. These findings consistent theoretical perspective dysregulation in mechanisms promote disturbance episode.
