Numerous findings hint at a link between dreaming and sleep-dependent memory processing, however, studies investigating day-residue incorporation in dreaming led to mixed results so far. In this study, we used a naturalistic learning paradigm aimed at biasing dream content by manipulating pre-sleep experience. Participants listened to one of four different audiobooks while falling asleep and were awoken several times during the night to report their dreams. Afterwards, we tested how well they remembered the content of the audiobook. We then asked three blind raters to guess, based solely on anonymized dream reports, which audiobook someone had listened to before experiencing a dream. Our findings show that dreams across the whole night and from both NREM and REM awakenings contain specific information about the content of narratives studied before sleep. Moreover, participants with stronger incorporation of the audiobook in their dreams showed a tendency to recognize more audiobook content across the sleep period. Together, these findings suggest that salient day-time experiences resurface in dreams and that content selected for consolidation during sleep is more strongly incorporated.</p>","PeriodicalId":22018,"journal":{"name":"Sleep","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145092481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The literature supports the etiology as \"high loop gain/increased controller gain,\" along with central sleep apnea (CSA) associated with common diagnoses (e.g. heart failure). Available data place the adult population prevalence at about 0.05% (men) and 0.003% (women), while up to 11% of patients diagnosed with CSA may be classified as ICSA. Symptoms may include nocturnal choking, witnessed apneas, awakenings with the sensation of shortness of breath, restless sleep, insomnia, non-restorative sleep, daytime sleepiness, fatigue, and variable degrees of snoring. Per the ICSD-3, ICSA may only be diagnosed if \"The disorder [CSA] is not better explained by another current sleep disorder, medical or neurologic disorder, medication use, or substance use disorder.\" However, a putative diagnosis of ICSA should prompt a comprehensive search for asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction without heart failure, atrial fibrillation, carotid artery disease, ischemic central nervous system pathology, acromegaly, and licit or illicit respiratory depressant drug use, which could be a potential cause of CSA. Systematic studies are needed to determine the cost effectiveness of this approach. However, if present, ICSA is excluded and intervention can be initiated for the underlying diagnosis, which may resolve CSA and, importantly, improve outcomes specific to the causative disease.

In this study, we performed genome-wide DNA methylation analysis using both CD4+/CD8+ T cells from 42 NT1 patients and 42 controls across discovery and replication cohorts. To identify methylation changes more robustly associated with the disease, we prioritized differentially methylated regions (DMRs) over single-site differentially methylated positions (DMPs). Furthermore, to validate and interpret DMP-level associations, we integrated genome-wide genotype and gene expression data obtained from the same individuals. As a result, the DMR analysis identified 15 reproducible DMRs in CD4+ T cells and 5 in CD8+ T cells, with most DMRs shared between the two cell types. Shared DMRs included regions associated with CCL5 (p=2.1.E-02) and CCR4 (p=8.3.E-03). Integrative analysis with genotype and gene expression data also showed that the DMP related to S100A4, which promotes lymphocyte migration through CCR5 and CXCR3 receptors, was associated with the disease in CD4+ T cells. Pathway analysis of genes identified through both the DMR and integrative analyses indicated enrichment in cell chemotaxis-related pathways, suggesting that aberrant chemokine-mediated cell migration plays a central role in NT1 pathogenesis. Further, NT1-associated methylation changes were predominantly hypomethylation events, significantly enriched in non-promoter, non-CpG island regions (p=1.74E-102).
