It has long been noticed that many colorful and interesting dreams after awakening are forgotten very quickly.. Scientists from the USA and Japan have established what it is connected with, as the Internet publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old reports Pannochka. net To do this, they conducted an experiment on laboratory mice, which allowed to identify a specific group of cells. It is these cells that impede the storage of dreams. Rodents were divided into two groups, in one of which scientists activated melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) cells. These mice showed apparent memory impairment..

In another group of rodents, these cells were turned off and such mice in memory tests showed an order of magnitude better results. According to scientists, a similar effect could be observed only when these cells were activated in the REM phase, at any other time their activation did not have any effect on the memory of mice..

The process is similar in humans.. In the phase of REM sleep, a person just sees colorful dreams and it was at this time that MCH cells had maximum activity. That is why almost all dreams are quickly forgotten. Moreover, forgetting is an active process, and not at all passive.
