  • What are the main findings and the focus of the review article titled "The neurophysiology and neurobiology of paradoxical (REM) sleep"?

    - Focuses on Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, also known as paradoxical sleep (PS), characterized by EEG activation and muscle atonia.
    - Glutamatergic neurons in the sublaterodorsal tegmental nucleus (SLD) are implicated in PS-induced muscle atonia.
    - Cholinergic neurons in the pontine tegmentum participate in REM sleep generation.
    - Activation of SLD GABAergic neurons during wakefulness and slow-wave sleep suppresses REM sleep.
    - The review discusses how various brain regions like the ventrolateral periaqueductal gray and lateral dorsal tegmentum are activated during PS by the claustrum and the supramammillary nucleus.
