This book greatly presents the latest results about PPN’s central role on health and disease. It can be used by neurologists, psychiatrists, sleep scientists, and basic scientists. Breakthroughs from Dr. Garcia-Rill’s laboratory in the Center for Translational Neuroscience about PPN physiology and rhythmicity at high, gamma-band, frequencies have been included in this book in detail. I’d recommend this book to anyone interested in understanding how normal arousal is key for a healthy human life.
