REM sleep behaviour disorder: A marker of synucleinopathy
2013, The Lancet NeurologyFrom REM sleep behaviour disorder to status dissociatus: Insights into the maze of states of being
2011, Sleep MedicineCitation Excerpt :Sleepwalking occurs as a result of incomplete arousal from NREM sleep, with motor activity appropriate to wakefulness occurring in conjunction with mentation of a kind that normally occurs during NREM sleep [19]. All together, the above considerations mean that the state-dependent changes in the brain systems regulating our state of beings may not be mutually inhibited [2,20,21]. The possible consequence of this is the appearance of maladaptive behaviours such as walking around half-asleep or spending long portions of the normal sleep cycle half-awake.
State dissociation: Implications for sleep and wakefulness, consciousness, and culpability
2011, Sleep Medicine ClinicsCitation Excerpt :The dream-enacting behaviors are allowed to occur because REM sleep is dissociated; all elements of REM sleep are present except atonia (alternatively, one element of W, namely muscle tone, intrudes or persists in REM sleep).41,42 In addition to simple sleepiness, narcolepsy, disorders of arousal, and RBD, the following phenomena are readily explained by state dissociation43: Anesthetic states (conscious sedation)
