“…Respiratory rate and effort are profoundly influenced by core or anterior hypothalamic temperature, an effect that is greatly reduced in REM sleep in both the cat and developing kitten (203,204). Appropriate rapid breathing responses to hypothalamic warming require a period of time to develop in the kitten; very young animals cannot maintain adequate ventilation with such warming and switch intermittently to slower breathing, risking hyperthermic damage (204).…”

“…It is the view of the majority of investigators in this area [at least in those cases in which parental abuse has been ruled out (202)] that dysfunctional development of the respiratory controllers, medical conditions, and environmental factors contribute to SIDS independently or in combination (203).

“…As in animals, this inactivation may depend on readjustments intervening at the thermostat (hypothalamic) level, which would lose its thermosensitivity for a short period of time around PS entrance (Parmeggiani et al 1973(Parmeggiani et al , 1983(Parmeggiani et al , 1987Heller 1976, 1984). For instance, if the gain of the thermoregulatory loop decreases in the transition from SWS to PS and then remains constant during PS, it may be that the central command for sweating does not reach the sweating threshold at the beginning of PS, but it does afterwards, due to internal temperature increase.…”
Section: Short-term Abolition Of Sweating Output At the Beginning Of mentioning
SUMMARYWe examined the changes in sudorific effector activity in five healthy young (21 -23 y) subjects just before, during and just after successive paradoxical sleep (PS) phases. Local sweat rates were evaluated minute by minute over the chest (mcs). Previous observations, showing that mLs levels dropped before paradoxical sleep onset was electrophysiologically scored, were confirmed. At the end of this period of m,, depression, which in the present study coincided with paradoxical sleep onset, we show for the first time a short period (3-7min) (period I) during which sweat production completely disappeared. A second period then followed (period II), at the very beginning of which mcs was re-elicited and thereafter increased in close correlation with paradoxical sleep duration. During period 11, the remaining inhibiting influences (maximal during period I) and their releases could be specified by the successive valleys (indicating mch inhibition) and peaks (indicating release of the mc5 inhibition) drawn by the minute by minute mc, changes. These inhibitions became weaker as paradoxical sleep advanced. Given the strategic position of period I (at paradoxical sleep onset) and the total m,, abolition therein observed, it may be assumed that this poikilothermic state is the re-emergence of the 'ancestral' mode of body temperature regulation. From a thermophysiological point of view, period I1 may be considered as more 'modern' and directly related to the extension of paradoxical sleep in humans. This extension could be underlain by the unique development of our cognitive and/ or learning functions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
