Abstract

Sleep and the functional connectome are research areas with considerable overlap. Neuroimaging studies of sleep based on EEG-PET and EEG-fMRI are revealing the brain networks that support sleep, as well as networks that may support the roles and processes attributed to sleep. For example, phenomena such as arousal and consciousness are substantially modulated during sleep, and one would expect this modulation to be reflected in altered network activity. In addition, recent work suggests that sleep also has a number of adaptive functions that support waking activity. Thus the study of sleep may elucidate the circuits and processes that support waking function and complement information obtained from fMRI during waking conditions. In this review, we will discuss examples of this for memory, arousal, and consciousness after providing a brief background on sleep and on studying it with fMRI.

  • DMN functional connectivity changes across sleep stages, severely weakening during deep NREM sleep and increasing to a hyper-associated state during REM sleep.

    “With regards to sleep, studies have found that DMN functional connectivity changes across the sleep stages,29 severely weakening during deep NREM sleep (which is typically associated with no or little dream recall) and conversely increasing to a hyper-associated state during REM sleep – the sleep stage from which the proportion of dream recall upon awakening is highest.”

    From High Dream Recall Frequency is Associated with Increased Creativity and Default Mode Network Connectivity (2022) · cites this paper as [29]

    In “Consciousness and the descent to sleep,” the paper reports reduced connectivity between the PCC and MPFC during N2 and further decoupling during N3. It also reports strengthened connectivity between parietal DMN nodes in N3, so the claim that DMN connectivity severely weakens overall is too broad. The same section calls REM findings inconclusive, citing both increased and decreased connectivity; it does not establish a REM “hyper-associated state.” (LLM, conf=0.90)

  • The proportion of dream recall upon awakening is highest from REM sleep.

    “With regards to sleep, studies have found that DMN functional connectivity changes across the sleep stages,29 severely weakening during deep NREM sleep (which is typically associated with no or little dream recall) and conversely increasing to a hyper-associated state during REM sleep – the sleep stage from which the proportion of dream recall upon awakening is highest.”

    From High Dream Recall Frequency is Associated with Increased Creativity and Default Mode Network Connectivity (2022) · cites this paper as [29]

    The “REM sleep” section links REM to dream imagery, and “Sleep and Consciousness” describes awareness as high during REM. Neither reports dream-recall rates upon awakening or compares recall across sleep stages; searches for those terms found no such passage in our copy. Page numbers were not available. (LLM, conf=0.72)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Resting-state networks persist even during sleep and under anaesthesia.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
