Sleep 1982
Physiology, Pharmacology, Sleep Factors, Memory, Sleep Deprivation, Hypnotics
Sixth European Congress on Sleep Research, Zürich 1982
Editor: W.P. Koella, Basel
XIV + 438 p., 104 fig., 53 tab., hard cover, 1983
ISBN 3-8055-3577-5
Supported by increasingly sophisticated methodology, experimental models, and conceptual approaches, sleep research is now yielding both a broadened understanding of physiological functions and a growing appreciation for the relevance of sleep phenomena to specific problems of clinical medicine. Based on selected papers presented at an international congress, this book gives readers a complete view of current sleep research in all its diversity. Both human and animal studies are presemed in reports ranging in topic from circadian rhythms in cockroaches to sleep disturbances in depressed patients and the elderly. The volume begins with three special lectures that help interpret fascinating new findings on neurotransmitters, circadian... Tovább

Supported by increasingly sophisticated methodology, experimental models, and conceptual approaches, sleep research is now yielding both a broadened understanding of physiological functions and a growing appreciation for the relevance of sleep phenomena to specific problems of clinical medicine. Based on selected papers presented at an international congress, this book gives readers a complete view of current sleep research in all its diversity. Both human and animal studies are presemed in reports ranging in topic from circadian rhythms in cockroaches to sleep disturbances in depressed patients and the elderly. The volume begins with three special lectures that help interpret fascinating new findings on neurotransmitters, circadian pacemakers and dream processes. Sub-sequem papers follow the themes of congress symposia focused on information processing during sleep, the autonomic nervous system and sleep physiology, and the rational use of hypnotic drugs. Of particular interest are workshop papers exploring various endogenous factors, substances and mechanisms involved in sleep promotion and waking behavior. Other reports from workshops indicate the progress made possible through innovative animal experimemal models and sophisticated applications of the sleep laboratory in clinical medicine. The volume concludes with a selection of brief communications organized to give readers a succinct overview of developments in areas such as physiology, neurophysiology, neuropharmacology, neu-robiochemistry, pharmacology, dreams, memory, and sleep deprivation.
Representing work from Europe, North and South America, and the Near and Far East, 'Sleep 1982' provides an exceptionally broad and varied range of data serving to confirm past assumptions and poim the way for future studies. As such, the book will be a welcome desk reference for all psychiatrists, neurologists, neurophysiologists, psychologists, and sleep researchers. Vissza
