Neuroanatomy and neurobiology of sleep
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sleep is a dynamic process involving complex neural activation. In 1929 the psychiatrist Hans Berger established that brain activity was different during wakefulness and sleep by recording cortical electrical potentials. He termed these recordings electroencephalograms and by the mid-1930s the cyclical patterns associated with NREM sleep had been categorised. The first observations of REM sleep occurred in the 1950s (Aserinsky et al., 1953). Understanding of the control mechanisms of NREM and REM sleep continues to develop.

متن کاملOptical highlighter molecules in neurobiology.
The development of advanced optical methods has played a key role in propelling progress in neurobiology. Genetically-encoded fluorescent molecules found in nature have enabled labeling of individual neurons to study their physiology and anatomy. Here we discuss the recent use of both native and synthetic optical highlighter proteins to address key problems in neurobiology, including questions ...
