To what extent do neurobiological sleep-waking processes support psychoanalysis?
2010, International Review of NeurobiologyCitation Excerpt :Accordingly, as postulated by Newman and Evans (1965) and by Hawkins (1966) as early as the 1960s, when REM sleep suppresses certain memory “traces” it is analogous to in computers “the clearing out of storage area, so that it would be empty during the next active waking part of the cycle for new data storage” (p 254, Gaardner, 1966) In contrast, other memory processes would be reinforced (Hennevin et al., 1995, 2007; Pace-Schott, 2003; Smith, 1995), although this point has been strongly questioned by others (Morrison and Sanford, 2003; Siegel, 2001; Vertes, 2004; Vertes and Eastman, 2000; Vertes and Siegel, 2005). The analogy of brain functioning during REM sleep with computers was more recently developed by Jouvet (1992, 1998), who postulated the readjustment of genetic behavioral programs and also that mental retardation would involve deficits in this process due to decreased REM sleep (Clausen et al., 1977; Grubar, 1983; Petre-Quadens and Jouvet, 1967). More recently, Dang-Vu et al. (2007) indirectly supported Jouvet’s hypothesis: “Dreaming involves the genetic reprogramming of cortical networks that might promote the maintenance of psychological individuality despite potentially adverse influences from the waking experiences” (p 98).

We thank Dr. E. Jenkins of the Institute's Genetics Department for providing us with karyotypes of the Down's patients.
We are indebted to Dennis Anderson, Michael Donadio, Vicki Procinsky, Paul Ulatowski and Dr. Mary Schmitt, who participated in recording the sleep data, stage scoring and editing of the polygraph records; to Douglas Andersen who assisted in setting up and maintaining the equipment and to Diamantis Skinitis who, with Dr. E.A. Sersen, prepared the computer programs and performed the computer analysis.
