Regulation of Sleep and Circadian Rhythms (Lung Biology in Health and Disease)

0.0

Providing an up-to-date overview of the field, this state-of-the-art reference details how sleep and circadian rhythms are interconnected, revealing the impact of various disease states on, and the molecular and genetic basis for, disrupted sleep and circadian rhythmicity and their effects on physical and mental health, safety, performance, and productivity. Integrates current and rapidly advancing discoveries of sleep and circadian rhythms! Offering an integrative approach to research findings from basic science to clinical points of view, Regulation of Sleep and Circadian Rhythms discusses xB7; the three developmental stages of sleep in mammals xB7; the evolution of circadian timing xB7; brainstem regulation of sleep xB7; non-REM sleep and thalamocortical function xB7; cognitive correlates of behavioral states xB7; dysfunctional sleep xB7; sleep homeostasis xB7; neuroanatomy of circadian control xB7; acute effects of light xB7; organization of vertebrate circadian timing systems xB7; production, sites, and mechanisms of melatonin xB7; genetic aspects of pathological human sleep xB7; sleep alterations associated with age, disease, and psychiatric state xB7; and more! Complete with over 3200 references, tables, and figures, Regulation of Sleep and Circadian Rhythms is an essential resource for clinical neurologists and neurobiologists, pulmonologists, psychiatrists and behavioral scientists, endocrinologists and neuroendocrinologists, chronobiologists, sleep specialists, general medicine practitioners and internists, gerontologists, psychologists, and graduate and medical school students in these disciplines.
