Rapid eye movements in REM sleep features as biomarker of maturity in healthy infants

Introduction: Age is probably the most important factor determining how humans sleep. In the first weeks of life, sleep organization is different than older ages, and REM sleep (also called active sleep) is the predominant stage in this state. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the relationship between neurological maturation in the first days of life and REM sleep (macrostructure and microstructure).
