This timely work reflects the growing importance of research into the nature of sleep and its medical aspects. One of the first of its kind, this work on the neuroimmunology of sleep provides an introduction to the interplay between these two key and interlinked areas. Written both from a basic and a clinical perspective, the volume is an invaluable information resource for biomedical professionals and students of the human biology. Highly practical guide written from both a basic and clinical perspective.
La presente obra está dedicada al tema del sueño desde tres áreas del conocimiento: la biológica, la psicológica y la social. El estilo de los textos es formal y académicamente riguroso, pero los modelos, teorías y resultados científicos se presentan de manera clara y accesible. De este modo, los elementos y términos técnicos se explican con detalle en el cuerpo del texto o en pies de página y figuras. La naturaleza de los sueños abre el telón con los estudios introductorios de José Luis Díaz Gómez y Enrique Soto Eguibar, para dar lugar a los ensayos del área biológica. En esta primera parte, el libro cuenta con textos de María Corsi-Cabrera, Lourdes Cubero Rego, Fructuoso...
Handbook of Behavioral State Control: Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms provides the first synthesis of information on the neurobiology of behavioral states, ranging from normal stress and sleep deprivation to debilitating neuropsychiatric disorders. This book presents a working reference on the cellular and molecular mechanisms generating arousal states; pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods of behavioral state control; and the bi-directional interaction between arousal state and the neurobiology of pain, and between sleep and the immune system.
Sleep can be viewed as a brain state, as a process and a behavior. As any of these, sleep serves several purposes, including energy restoration, immunocompetence, brain metabolic homeostasis, neural ontogenesis and, importantly, cognitive, emotional and social processing. Supported by a strong empirical backbone focused on contemporary research outlining links between these subjects, this book will offer a guide to state-of-the-art research of sleep mechanisms, its impact in many cognitive and affective features as well as brief but in-depth overview of the strong association between sleep and social interactions. The complexity behind the common mechanisms between sleep, cognition and emoti...
