The mystery of sleep has fascinated scientists for decades, yet
despite great advances on several fronts, basic questions about
sleep remain unanswered. What neural or somatic mechanisms govern
the normal alternation between sleep and wakefulness? What genes
control the quality and quantity of sleep? Do all animals sleep and
if so, do similar biological mechanisms govern sleep in different
animal species? And, perhaps most critically, what are the
functions of sleep? In this book, leading scientists explore these
fascinating questions by presenting their latest findings spanning
a) neurological structures and genes underlying sleep expression b)
interactions between sleep and the immune system c) the evolution
of sleep in invertebrate species and d) the role of sleep in
neurogenesis, macro-molecule synthesis and brain plasticity in both
developing and adult animals.
