A new study by researchers at the Federal University of the Urals (UrFU) and the University of Tubingen (Germany) has emerged with the aim of assisting in the development of rehabilitation strategies for individuals suffering from anxiety.
In experiments carried out by the researchers, it was possible to determine that a two-hour daytime nap contributes to an increase in fear memories seized shortly before going to sleep. Furthermore, it was possible to conclude that after watching an emotional movie or playing a computer game, the chances of having memories of fear increase.
The participants in the experiment went through a fear conditioning paradigm. First, they were exposed to a neutral tone and then to a loud noise. This exposure allowed the scientists to conclude that the neural signatures of fear learning increase after a nap and, in equal measure, after a short rest.
Participants' responses were studied by electroencephalography before and after a two-hour daytime nap or an equal period of wakefulness in 18 healthy youth.
Now researchers are investing in a clinical trial that will test patients in a vegetative state and in a minimally conscious state to determine how sleep will affect your anxiety levels and memory memory formation fear.
Understanding the effect of sleep in situations where emotional trauma occurs is extremely important for developing effective strategies for dealing with victims of these mental disorders.
