Sleep and Dreaming; SLEEP STAGES AND CYCLESBRAIN CENTRES REGULATING WAKEFULNESS AND SLEEPUnderstanding consciousness is the major unsolved problem in biology. One increasingly important method of studying consciousness is to study disorders of consciousness, e.g. brain damage and disease states leading to vegetative states, coma, minimally conscious states, etc. Many of these studies are very much in the public eye because of their relationship to controversies about coma patients (e.g. Terry Schiavo case in the US recently), and the relationship to one of the major philosophical, sociological, political, and religious questions of humankind.This is the first book to summarizeBrain damageCognitive neuroscienceConsciousnessLoss of consciousnessNeurologyBrain damage.Cognitive neuroscience.Consciousness.Loss of consciousness.Neurology.153612.823377.50bclCZ 1300rvkER 810rvkWW 2200rvkYH 3600rvkLaureys Steven1544594Tononi Giulio149780MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782209703321The neurology of consciousness3798965UNINA
