Sleep under a microscope. What happens to us and the brain during sleep. Vyazovsky V., Karlin M.

What is a dream? Brain condition? The physiological process of the body? Or a global phenomenon that can be understood only in the context of ecosystem dynamics? The book talks about the role of sleep at the microscopic level of individual neurons; About how sleep affects each of us and how our behavior has an effect on sleep; About how scientific ideas about sleep in the course of history were formed. Sleep cannot remain beyond the scope of serious talk about the nature of consciousness, ecology or the future of mankind. The whole world is built around sleep and wakefulness. We live on a half -wrapping planet. Sleep is one of the most amazing phenomena, unique states and incomprehensible processes that concern each of us separately and the whole society as a whole. If there were no sleep, the world would be different.
