Summary
AI-generated from the abstractRapid eye movements during sleep are associated with deactivation of the default mode network, as shown by fMRI evidence. This finding suggests that eye movements in sleep are linked to changes in brain activity in regions involved in self-referential thought and mind-wandering.
