REM sleep reduces subthreshold depolarization in cortical pyramidal neurons in a region-specific manner

Campelo et al. show that REM sleep induces region-specific changes in cortical excitability, with NMDARs playing a crucial role. Diazepam-induced sleep differs from natural sleep by disrupting normal inhibitory circuits, suggesting that hypnotic drugs may compromise sleep-dependent brain functions.
