Sleep-Wake Disorders — Psychiatry and Sleep Medicine
Psychiatry · Clinical Specialties
How it begins
La regulación del ciclo sueño-vigilia depende de una compleja interacción entre sistemas neuronales ascendentes promotores de la vigilia, núcleos subcorticales inductores del sueño y marcapasos biológicos sincronizados por factores ambientales y metabólicos.
