All sleep, even during the day, is associated with the secretion of prolactin. [12] According to the Hobson & McCarley activation-synthesis hypothesis, proposed in 1975–1977, the alternation between REM and non-REM can be explained in terms of cycling, reciprocally influential neurotransmitter systems. [13]
[13] [14] The VLPO is inhibited during wakefulness by the arousal-inducing neurotransmitters norepinephrine and acetylcholine. [9] [15] The role of the VLPO in sleep and wakefulness, and its association with sleep disorders – particularly insomnia and narcolepsy – is a growing area of neuroscience research.
Studies in sleep-deprived rats have found a decrease in acetylated histones at the BDNF promoter IV, which is crucial for learning and memory. Models disrupting the sleep-wake cycle in flies and models of neurodegenerative diseases suggest that decreased histone acetylation is associated with neuronal dysfunction. [4]
Scientists observed that slow synchronized oscillations of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine, along with cerebral blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), combine during non-rapid eye movement sleep ...
Improvement to cognitive performance caused by exercise could last for 24 hours, a new study shows. Scientists also linked getting 6 or more hours of sleep to better memory test scores the next day.

Typically, neurotransmitter receptors are located on the postsynaptic neuron, while neurotransmitter autoreceptors are located on the presynaptic neuron, as is the case for monoamine neurotransmitters; [45] in some cases, a neurotransmitter utilizes retrograde neurotransmission, a type of feedback signaling in neurons where the neurotransmitter ...
The areas activated during REM sleep are approximately inverse to those activated during non-REM sleep [16] and display greater activity than in quiet waking. The "anterior paralimbic REM activation area" (APRA) includes areas linked with emotion , memory, fear and sex, and may thus relate to the experience of dreaming during REMS.
