Key papers
Siclari, F., Baird, B., Perogamvros, L., Bernardi, G., LaRocque, J. J., Riedner, B. A., Boly, M., Postle, B. R., & Tononi, G. (2017). The neural correlates of dreaming. Nature Neuroscience, 20(6), 872-878. What it reports: High-density recordings with repeated awakenings linked dream reports to a local drop in slow activity in a region at the back of the brain, in both rapid-eye-movement and other sleep, and used the signal to predict dreaming in real time.
Key ideas
Posterior Cortical Hot Zone: A region at the back of the brain whose activity tracked dream reports across sleep stages in a 2017 study.
