FeaturedNeuroscienceOpen Neuroscience Articles·May 15, 2020The dreaming brain tunes out the outside worldThe brain tunes out information from the outside world, such as the sound of speech, during REM sleep. During light sleep, the brain prioritizes meaningful speech, just as it does during a wakeful state. Researchers believe the mechanism enables the brain to protect the dreaming phase, which is essential for memory consolidation. Read More
