- W1989808082 abstract "Some aspects of the evolution of mechanisms for enhancement and maintenance of synaptic efficacy are treated. After the origin of use-dependent synaptic plasticity, frequent synaptic activation (dynamic stabilization, DS) probably prolonged transient efficacy enhancements induced by single activations. In many primitive invertebrates inhabiting essentially unvarying aqueous environments, DS of synapses occurs primarily in the course of frequent functional use. In advanced locomoting ectotherms encountering highly varied environments, DS is thought to occur both through frequent functional use and by spontaneous non-utilitarian activations that occur primarily during rest. Non-utilitarian activations are induced by endogenous oscillatory neuronal activity, the need for which might have been one of the sources of selective pressure for the evolution of neurons with oscillatory firing capacities. As non-sleeping animals evolved increasingly complex brains, ever greater amounts of circuitry encoding inherited and experiential information (memories) required maintenance. The selective pressure for the evolution of sleep may have been the need to depress perception and processing of sensory inputs to minimize interference with DS of this circuitry. As the higher body temperatures and metabolic rates of endothermy evolved, mere skeletal muscle hypotonia evidently did not suffice to prevent sleep-disrupting skeletal muscle contractions during DS of motor circuitry. Selection against sleep disruption may have led to the evolution of further decreases in muscle tone, paralleling the increase in metabolic rate, and culminating in the postural atonia of REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. Phasic variations in heart and respiratory rates during REM sleep may result from superposition of activations accomplishing non-utilitarian DS of redundant and modulatory motor circuitry on the rhythmic autonomic control mechanisms. Accompanying non-utilitarian DS of circuitry during sleep, authentic and variously modified information encoded in the circuitry achieves the level of unconscious awareness as dreams and other sleep mentation." @default.
