Tissue-specific regulation of the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor by antidepressants and lithium.

abstract：:In humans and several other mammals, a quantitative EEG analysis has been used to study the regulation of sleep-wake behavior. In all mammalian species studied, cortical EEG recorded during non-REM sleep (NREMS) is characterized by the occurrence of spindles and high voltage, slow waves (0.5-4.0 Hz). Furthermore, slow...
