Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" These results suggest that bereavement apparitions are situation-specific hallucinations evoked by microseizures within sensitized temporal lobe structures; the occurrence of these microseizures might be facilitated by suppression in melatonin levels that could accompany sudden increases in geomagnetic activity."7.67Increased geomagnetic activity and the occurrence of bereavement hallucinations: evidence for melatonin-mediated microseizuring in the temporal lobe? ( Persinger, MA, 1988)
"Complex nocturnal visual hallucinations are vivid, dramatic, intricate visual hallucinations occurring during sleep onset or awakenings at night, generally lasting for a few minutes at most and disappearing with increased levels of light."5.48Melatonin-Responsive Complex Nocturnal Visual Hallucinations. ( Bhat, S; Lysenko, L, 2018)
"Nocturnal urinary melatonin excretion was evaluated in six patients with nightmares and hallucinations during treatment with beta-adrenoceptor blocking agents, and compared to six control patients with similar diagnoses and treatment but without such symptoms from the central nervous system (CNS)."3.67Depressed melatonin secretion in patients with nightmares due to beta-adrenoceptor blocking drugs.
