How "works" sleepwalking
The brain during sleep does not cease to work, so some people can be lunatizm
Sleepwalking - is both exciting and scary. The idea that we can control our bodies without realizing what we are doing, really nervous. But what happens to our brain (and body) when we walk in a dream?
Some legends about walking in a dream saying that sleepwalkers are not afraid of danger. Indeed, one 15-year-old girl was found sleeping on the top of a crane at a height of 45 meters after a bout of sleepwalking.
Complete amnesia, which ostensibly follows sleepwalking, it is a myth. Some people remember everything they dreamed while walking. Upon awakening, they recognize that in their dreams did not make sense, but they could not control himself in his sleep.
Most people are lunatics, if one of their parents was a lunatic. If both parents - lunatics that the chance of their child becoming a lunatic rises to 60%. Most often lunatics are small children and people suffering from breathing disorders such as sleep apnea, people with restless legs syndrome, and night terrors.
Perhaps the sleepwalking is because the two parts of the brain "awake" at the same time. Sleepwalkers do not go during the rapid phase of sleep. One of the parts of the brain awake - it's motor cortex. People twitch in his sleep, because the nervous system is doing its job. Neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) disables the ability of the motor cortex to make big moves. We think that we run, but we just jerking. With a lack of GABA in the body part of the brain responsible for motor function, working fully, and we are moving as much as we want, even in a dream.
That is why children are more likely to be lunatics than adults. The developing brain can not provide the necessary supply of GABA. When the nervous system is fully formed, the child "grows" out of sleepwalking. Many sleepwalkers unaware of their lunacy only through family stories.
