Question

What is "synthesized" in the activation-synthesis model of dreaming?

Answer 1

In the activation-synthesis model of dreaming random neural signals from the brain stem are "synthesized". This model of dreaming  is a neurobiological explanation of why we dream and suggests that dreaming results from the brain's attempt to make sense of neural activity that takes place during sleep. This means that even when you are sleeping, your brain is quite active.

Answer 2

Answer:

"Synthesized" is the making sense of the cerebral cortex in less advanced portion the brain like brain stem.

Explanation:

The activation-synthesis model of dreaming theory was first pro-founded by "Allen Hobson" and "Robert McCarley" in late 1970.

According to this model, theory dreams are the result of the cerebral cortex which attempts to synthesize the neural activity in the lower or inferior part of brain-like in the brain stem.

During sleep, dreams are created by the neuron activity that activates the brain stem in the duration of REM Sleep.
