Over the years there has been growing interest among the scientific
community in investigating sleep and how it affects the memory and
other brain functions. It is now well established that sleep helps
in memory consolidation and induction of neural plasticity, and
that short-term deprivation of either total sleep or rapid eye
movement sleep alone can induce memory deficits very quickly.
Quantitative and qualitative changes in sleep architecture after
different training tasks further suggest that discrete memory types
may require specific sleep stage/s for optimal memory
consolidation, and studies indicate that sleep deprivation alters
synaptic plasticity and membrane excitability in the hippocampal
neurons and synaptic up-scaling in the cortical neurons. Further,
sleep alteration during pregnancy may increase the risk of
depression and adversely affect maternal-child relationships,
parenting practices, family functioning, and children's development
and general wellbeing. This book coherently discusses all these
aspects, with a particular focus on the possible role of sleep in
memory consolidation and synaptic plasticity. It also highlights
the detrimental effects of sleep loss on mental health, the immune
system and cognition. This book is a valuable reference resource
for students and researchers working in the area of sleep, memory,
or neuronal plasticity.
