Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

REM behavior disorder occurs when the brain mechanisms that control muscle paralysis during REM sleep fail. During REM sleep, the brain sends signals to the muscles to relax and prevent them from acting out dreams. In people with REM behavior disorder, these signals are not effective, resulting in physical movements and acting out of dreams during sleep. This can be caused by certain neurological conditions, medications, or other factors that affect the brain's control over muscle paralysis during REM sleep.
