Local Cortical Activations During REM Sleep and Implications for RBD
Different neuroimaging and intracerebral EEG studies have shown that brain activity during physiologic REM sleep in humans is not temporally and spatially homogeneous. Indeed, some brain regions (i.e., motor c...

Sleep paralysis in narcolepsy: more than just a motor dissociative phenomenon?
Sleep paralyses are viewed as pure motor phenomena featured by a dissociated state in which REM-related muscle atonia coexists with a wakefulness state of full consciousness. We present a 59-year-old man diagn...
