Chapter 60: States of Brain Activity—Sleep, Brain Waves, Epilepsy, Psychoses, and Dementia
This chapter explains normal and abnormal brain activity, focusing on sleep physiology, EEG rhythms, and their neural mechanisms.
It covers seizure types, epilepsy pathophysiology, and how imbalance between excitation and inhibition disrupts brain function.
It also links specific neurotransmitter system dysfunctions to psychoses and dementias like schizophrenia and Alzheimer disease.
