SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"Sleep: Circuits and Functions discusses the major discoveries related to the circuits responsible for slow wave sleep (SWS) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, narcolepsy, and the possible role of sleep in memory and developmental processes. World-renowned researcher Pierre-Herve Luppi and a panel of expert contributors highlight recent advances in sleep research obtained by means of promising technologies. New data obtained by differential gene expression analysis, transgenic mice, and functional imaging is presented, as well as the latest theoretical concepts on the mechanisms regulating sleep."--Jacket
