Conventional wisdom assumes that sleep is a resting state of the brain, with negligible activity of cortical neurons. Here, the author brings new evidence favoring the idea that during sleep, memory traces acquired while awake are consolidated. Mircea Steriade focuses on the coalescence of different sleep rhythms in interacting corticothalamic networks and on three types of paroxysmal disorders: spike-wave seizures as in absence epilepsy, Lennox-Gastaut seizures, and temporal-lobe epilepsy. Many physiological correlates of waking and sleep states as well as diverse types of epileptic seizures are also discussed.

Review
"...the field of neuroscience is in the professor's debt for writing it...worth the read." Neurology
Book Description
Sleep and epilepsy are common bedfellows, as a series of epileptic fits can occur during the state of sleep with slow electroencephalogram waves. The author describes for neuroscientists and clinicians the signs of different states of vigilance (waking, slow wave, and dreaming sleep), the neuronal operations that account for these normal states and the cellular mechanisms underlying diverse types of epileptic seizures. Readers are presented with comprehensive data and discussion, based on the author's research. This is the first book to explore the inter-related topics of sleep and epilepsy.
