Description
Book SynopsisOffers information on the neurobiology of behavioral states, ranging from normal stress and sleep deprivation to debilitating neuropsychiatric disorders. This book presents a reference on the cellular and molecular mechanisms generating arousal states, and pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods of behavioral state control.
