During the last two decades, functional neuroimaging has been used to characterize the regional brain function during sleep in humans, at the macroscopic systems level. In addition, the topography of brain activity, especially during rapid eye movement sleep, was thought to be compatible with the general features of dreams.

Abstract

During the last two decades, functional neuroimaging has been used to characterize the regional brain function during sleep in humans, at the macroscopic systems level. In addition, the topography of brain activity, especially during rapid eye movement sleep, was thought to be compatible with the general features of dreams. In contrast, the neural correlates of dreams remain largely unexplored. This review examines the difficulties associated with the characterization of dream correlates. © 2010 Elsevier Inc.
