Document Summary
Lec11 sleep and wakefulness: will not be tested on content of pages 590-593 sleep. 2. reversible state: always do wake up. 4. state that is characterized by a reduced responsiveness to the environment. 8. sleep deprivation a. is it about amount of sleep or quality of sleep: only occurs in higher vertebrate, exception* sleep in invertebrates. 1. invertebrates display modes of sleep: disruption of sleep in these invertebrates. 3. resulted in compensatory activity: activity level over 12 hour period rest period in normal condition a. if rest is disturbed a. i. increased amount of resting during subsequent active period behavioral correlates of sleep. 1. stereotypic postures of sleep: minimal movement, no response to external stimuli, aspect of reversibility, disruption of sleep leads to compensatory activity, effect of sleep deprivation on behavior conclusion. 1. sleep is not the simple uniform suspension of activity: highly organized pattern of physiological state.
