Brain Sciences November 18, 2021 Charles Chong-Hwa Hong, James H Fallon, Karl Friston

System-specific brain responses-time-locked to rapid eye movements (REMs) in sleep-are characteristically widespread, with robust and clear activation in the primary visual cortex and other structures involved in multisensory integration. This pattern suggests that REMs underwrite hierarchical processing of visual information in a time-locked manner, where REMs index the generation and scanning...
