Y1 - 2019 N1 - T2 - Ganong's Review of Medical Physiology, 26e AB - OBJECTIVESAfter studying this chapter, you should be able to:Explain the function of the thalamocortical pathway and ascending arousal system in the control of arousal and consciousness.Explain the interplay between brainstem neurons that contain norepinephrine, serotonin, and acetylcholine and diencephalic histaminergic and GABAergic neurons in mediating transitions between sleep and wakefulness.Explain the physiological basis and the main clinical uses of the electroencephalogram (EEG).Describe possible causes of seizure activity and explain the differences between generalized and partial seizures.Identify the primary types of cortical rhythms recorded in an EEG that reflect different states of wakefulness and sleep.Summarize the behavioral and EEG characteristics of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and the four stages of non-REM sleep.Describe the pattern of normal nighttime sleep in adults and the variations in this pattern from birth to old age.Describe the symptoms of narcolepsy, sleep apnea, and other sleep disorders.Describe the roles of the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) and melatonin in regulation of the circadian rhythm.
