Although the relationship between dreams and the brain has been studied for years, it has not been fully elucidated. Yes; dream We seeWe are influenced by our dreams and our brains trigger our emotions while we are dreaming. Far below that What mechanism is there?† A group of researchers from the University of Bern, working in Switzerland, have managed to discover what lies behind this mysterious process. Let’s take a look at this interesting study together.

People have dreams during REM sleep. Experts in their research between brain and sleep They found that there is a remarkable bond and that positive emotions are reinforced during sleep. On the other hand; negative emotions were suppressed during sleep. Interestingly, the part of the brain that manages emotions was not active during sleep. Here’s the new research on mice, relieves this complex situation† Experts say the findings on mice will also apply to humans.

Can prevent conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder

The scientists taught the rats sounds related to safety or danger. During this process, the brains of the mice were monitored. Experts who have completed the first phase with these studies, then to the second phase they passed. This stage is when the learned sounds are heard in the brain during sleep and wakefulness. How incorporated was about. The second phase of the investigation yielded striking details.

To understand the rest of the research, we must first know the nerve cells, namely the neurons. Let’s explain it in its simplest form. A nerve cell, in the grossest sense, consists of 3 parts. These sections are; received the response dendritepost incoming comments axon and interacting with other neurons soma (cell body). Here’s the action in these cells, even in part, what happens during sleep. to be understood has provided.

* Appearance of a nerve cell.

By examining the brains of mice, scientists found that during REM sleep, the soma is fully asleep and the dendrites are fully awake. This meant: The rats could understand incoming sounds of safety or danger, but were unable to respond to them, especially danger. Because nerve cellshalf works“They were in a state of… it causes fear they think.

For conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder a new door has been interrupted. Experts think the results of mice could help people with stress, anxiety, depression or panic attacks. But to say that there are new ways of treatment to get rid of the diseases that we are now talking about. not possible† Studies must continue and research must be shifted to humans.
