The Neurobiology of Sleep (BIO 149, HUMBIO 161, PSYC 149, PSYC 261)

UNITS:4
GRADING:Letter or Credit/No Credit
LEVEL:Graduate
GER:—

The neurochemistry and neurophysiology of changes in brain activity and conscious awareness are associated with changes in the sleep/wake state. Behavioral and neurobiological phenomena include sleep regulation, sleep homeostasis, circadian rhythms, sleep disorders, sleep function, and the molecular biology of sleep.
