Regional variability in intracerebral properties of NREM to REM sleep transitions in humans

Résumé

Transitions between wake and sleep states show a progressive pattern underpinned by local sleep regulation. In contrast, little evidence is available on non–rapid eye movement (NREM) to rapid eye movement (REM) sleep boundaries, considered as mainly reflecting subcortical regulation. Using polysomnography (PSG) combined with stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) in humans undergoing epilepsy presurgical evaluation, we explored the dynamics of NREM-to-REM transitions. PSG was used to visually score transitions and identify REM sleep features. SEEG-based local transitions were determined automatically with a machine learning algorithm using features validated for automatic intra-cranial sleep scoring (10.5281/zenodo.7410501). We analyzed 2988 channel-transitions from 29 patients. The average transition time from all intracerebral channels to the first visually marked REM sleep epoch was 8 s ± 1 min 58 s, with a great heterogeneity between brain areas. Transitions were observed first in the lateral occipital cortex, preceding scalp transition by 1 min 57 s ± 2 min 14 s (d = −0.83), and close to the first sawtooth wave marker. Regions with late transitions were the inferior frontal and orbital gyri (1 min 1 s ± 2 min 1 s, d = 0.43, and 1 min 1 s ± 2 min 5 s, d = 0.43, after scalp transition). Intracranial transitions were earlier than scalp transitions as the night advanced (last sleep cycle, d = −0.81). We show a reproducible gradual pattern of REM sleep initiation, suggesting the involvement of cortical mechanisms of regulation. This provides clues for understanding oneiric experiences occurring at the NREM/REM boundary.
