Description

Handbook of Sleep Research, Volume 30, provides a comprehensive review of the current status of the neuroscience of sleep research. It begins with an overview of the neural, hormonal and genetic mechanisms of sleep and wake regulation before outlining the various proposed functions of sleep and the role it plays in plasticity, and in learning and memory. Finally, the book discusses disorders of sleep and waking, covering both lifestyle factors that cause disrupted sleep and psychiatric and neurological conditions that contribute to disorders.

Key features

  • Emphasizes a comparative and multidisciplinary approach to the topic of sleep
  • Covers the neurobiology and physiology of sleep stages, mechanisms of waking, and dreaming
  • Discusses in detail the proposed functions of sleep, from health and rest, to memory consolidation and synaptic plasticity
  • Examines the current state of research in mammalian and non-mammalian species, ranging from primates to invertebrates

Readership

Advanced students, basic researchers, and clinical researchers in behavioral neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, developmental neuroscience, neurology, and sleep medicine

Review quotes

"Everyone is fascinated by sleep yet we do not understand its real contribution to our lives. If you are really interested in what we know and what we should know about sleep, the Handbook of Sleep Research (edited by Hans Dringenberg), is your source. It is a comprehensive volume covering wide range of topics from sleep in sea mammals to humans, from the contribution of sleep in memory to brain homeostasis. Each chapter is written by an expert in the field. This volume should be on the shelf of all sleep researchers and, in fact, many neuroscientists interested in the default state of the brain."—György Buzsáki, M.D., Ph.D. Biggs Professor of Neurocience, New York University, Langone Medical Center (author of the Rhythms of the Brain; The Brain from Inside Out)

Hans Dringenberg

Dr. Dringenberg is professor in the Department of Psychology and the Centre for Neuroscience Studies at Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada. He took up his position at Queen’s after completing a Ph.D. in Neuroscience at the University of Western Ontario, Canada, and a post-doctoral fellowship at the Institute of Physiological Psychology, University of Duesseldorf, Germany. Over the last 20 years, research in Dr. Dringenberg’s Neuroplasticity Laboratory has examined the role of various sleep-wake-related neuromodulators in controlling the electrical activity and synaptic plasticity of the neocortex and hippocampus in animal models. Recently, his lab has expanded its focus to also investigate the role of sleep and waking states in memory consolidation in humans. Dr. Dringenberg’s work has been funded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC); he is the author of more than 80 peer-reviewed publications.
