Eighteen article presents step-by-step protocols for studying the molecular and biochemical mechanisms regulating arousal states. Most of the protocols concern the three naturally occurring brain states of vigilance<-->waking; deep sleep with consciousness obtunded; and the dreaming phase of sleep. The protocols can be extended to the study of diverse physiological and behavioral phenomena. It is asserted that the benefits of combining integrative and molecular research programs have been amply demonstrated. Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR
Book Description
Arousal states are processes that include waking, deep sleep, and the dreaming phase of sleep (REM). Molecular Regulation of Arousal States explores the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which sleep and wakefulness are regulated and seeks explanations for the generation of arousal states. It presents step-by-step research protocols that allow investigators to apply the techniques described to a wide range of physiological and behavioral research problems, such as sleep neurobiology and state-dependent disruption of cardiopulmonary control. For the first time, a single source integrates cellular and molecular research techniques with studies of arousal, opening the door to exciting new research methodologies.
