A new study has revealed an important way in which sleep helps the brain process emotions for the next day, and while the findings were discovered in mice, they could also help us solve some of the mysteries of human sleep.
But how that actually plays out in the brain is something scientists are still investigating.
As it turns out, silence is also a powerful tool. Research on sleeping and awake mice suggests the quieting of the prefrontal cortex during REM sleep helps the whole system reset.that suggest sleep keeps neuronal activity under control. During REM sleep, however, neurons in the prefrontal cortex of mice appear to behave differently. The dendrites show increased activity, but the soma shows decreased activity.
With the body of the neuron no longer sending off as many messages, the arms of the neuron have time to consolidate the information they have already received, essentially 'learning' which incoming messages should be sent off and which should not.
