A Particular Medullary-Spinal Inhibitory Pathway is Recruited for the Expression of Muscle Atonia During REM Sleep

Muscle atonia is a major pathognomonic sign of paradoxical sleep (PS; coined REM Sleep), during which dreams mainly occur. In the 1980s, an idiopathic syndrome called REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) was described in patients endowed with loss of PS paralysis concomitant to abnormal movements, sugg...
