Cerebral blood flow and metabolism in sleep

A review is presented of the electrical activity of the brain and its global and regional blood flow and metabolism in the different stages of sleep and in wakefulness in animals and humans. During slow‐wave sleep (SWS), the blood flow and metabolism of the brain decrease slightly below the level of wakefulness. During rapid eye movement the activity of the brain increases above that of SWS and sometimes above that of wakefulness. Some studies suggest that both at sleep onset and at arousal the brain stem‐cerebellar complex (BSC) may be activated before the cortex and the right hemisphere before the left. Variation of hemispheric dominance seems to be a phenomenon of both wakefulness and sleep.
