| Summary |
Systematically assessing the relative strengths and weaknesses of various animal model systems, this reference presents an overview of the known pathophysiology of sleep-related breathing disorders. It focuses exclusively on animal-based experimental approaches to improve current diagnostic and therapeutic practices in the management of these disorders. Providing a fundamental understanding of sleep-related breathing disorders, the book introduces sleep disorders and applies modern neuroscience to regulation of breathing during sleep. The authors have collected nearly all known studies, summar |
