日本最新研究:做夢睡眠階段大腦血流增、能量反暴跌

日本研究發現,快速動眼期(REM)睡眠期間,小鼠大腦血流量大幅增加,但神經細胞可用能量卻反常暴跌,顯示大腦正在密集進行內部運算與記憶整理。

日本最新研究發現,在與做夢密切相關的睡眠階段,大腦血流量大幅增加,但神經細胞可用能量卻反常暴跌,顯示大

許多人以為做夢是大腦的休眠放鬆時刻,但最新科學實驗卻顛覆了這項認知。日本一項研究發現,在與做夢密切相關的「快速動眼期」(REM)睡眠期間,小鼠大腦的血液供應雖然大幅增加,神經細胞可立即使用的能量卻反而反常暴跌,顯示大腦正在進行激烈的內部能量消耗。

科技新聞網站《ScienceDaily》報導,這項由日本東北大學團隊主導的研究,已刊登於國際期刊《通訊生物學》(Communications Biology)。研究人員追蹤自然睡眠狀態下的小鼠大腦,發現在進入做夢睡眠階段前約50秒,大腦血流量便開始激增;然而令人意外的是,神經細胞內最關鍵的能量來源「三磷酸腺苷」(ATP)濃度卻顯著下滑。

這項發現打破了傳統認知,形成「血液與代謝原料供應增加、神經細胞可用能量反而減少」的奇特生理反差。

大腦為何狂耗能? 疑忙著整理記憶

為什麼做夢時大腦會消耗如此多能量?研究團隊提出兩種可能機制:最主要的推論是,大腦在做夢期間正密集進行「記憶固化與突觸重組」,負責記憶的海馬迴與大腦皮質之間展開了龐大的資訊傳遞,龐大的運算負荷瞬間燒光了神經細胞的能量庫存。另一種可能,則是能量物質在細胞間的傳遞管道受阻,或是細胞合成能量的效率產生暫時波動。

研究團隊指出,這項成果證實睡眠中的大腦並非單純休眠,而是在血管與神經元之間進行極為複雜的能量調配。

不過,研究人員特別強調,這項試驗是在小鼠身上進行,無法直接推論人類做夢會造成醒後的身體疲勞,也不能認定夢境越多身體就越累,但這項發現為解開人類睡眠、做夢與大腦記憶機制的關聯,提供了極為關鍵的科學線索。

Open Questions

  • 此現象是否同樣存在於人類大腦?
  • 能量物質在細胞間傳遞受阻的具體機制為何?

The statues of male ancestors at the Jiahu site in Henan have been restored, dating back to about 9,000 to 7,500 years ago

A press conference on the progress of the restoration of portraits at the Jiahu site and the transformation of research results was held in Zhengzhou on the 29th. For the first time, a restored portrait of a male ancestor aged 25 to 30 years old from the Jiahu site was unveiled. The site dates back to about 9,000 to 7,500 years ago, and the world's earliest playable musical instrument, a bone flute, was unearthed.
