Produktinformationen zu „The Neural Control of Sleep and Waking “
Why we need to sleep is not actually known, but it is a topic that continues to intrigue us and it is still very much the subject of active research. The author takes an historical approach to the subject and hence largely takes a chronological view of sleep research and the scientists' ideas and their experiments. Parts one and two describe the main historical figures and their various theories and discoveries. Part three describes our current state of knowledge of sleep, arousal and waking. It discusses sleep and waking disorders and discusses the current theories behind the function of sleep. This is a book readable by anyone who has some introductory biology or psychology and has an interest in why and how we sleep it will also make an excellent book for anyone taking a course on the physiology and functions of sleep.

Rezension zu „The Neural Control of Sleep and Waking “
"Aristotle wondered why we sleep. We still don't completely know why. This book discusses the biology of sleep in a casual, conversational tone. It assumes some knowledge of neurology and provides a 'refresher' chapter that is not exhaustive. It examines the nuts and bolts of sleep and waking, including the evolution of thinking about sleep, without overwhelming the reader with scientific charts. It includes a chapter about dreaming, but as a physiological, not psychological, concept. Sleep disorders (insomnia, apnea, etc) are also discussed. The author is well-known but is not to be confused with the really 'big deal' in sleep - Jerome M. Siegel at UCLA. That Jerome M. Siegel, however, did write the foreword.
