By modulating brain activity in the amygdala and related regions during non-REM sleep to weaken perceptual memories that triggers flashbacks, doctors could potentially prevent or treat addiction.

Here, using positron emission tomography (PET) and regional cerebral blood flow measurements, we show that waking experience influences regional brain activity ... non-trained subjects, in REM ...

You long for a button or dial that could instantly dampen all that mental activity ... is spent in non-REM (NREM) sleep, during which the brain may engage in a deep clean, clearing away cellular ...
