Num Pages: 260 pages, 5 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: MJN; MMB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 15. Weight in Grams: 427.
Sleep and anesthesia resemble in many ways at a first glance. The most prominent common feature of course is the loss of consciousness, i.e. the loss of awareness of external stimuli. However a closer look at the loss of consciousness reveals already a difference between sleep and anesthesia: anesthesia is induced by an anesthetic drug whereas we may fall asleep without external cause. Other questions may arise about the difference of the two effects: do we dream during surgery under anesthesia, do we feel pain during sleep? Essentially, we may ask: what is common and what are the differences between ... Read more

Reviews for Sleep and Anesthesia: Neural Correlates in Theory and Experiment
From the reviews: This book, which aims to provide an overview of experimental and theoretical concepts explaining the similarities and differences of sleep and anesthesia, grew out of two workshops during the Computational Neuroscience Conferences ... . written particularly for graduate students in anesthesiology and sleep science, but it also will be useful to theoretical neuroscientists ...
