Péter Halász • Róbert Bódizs

2013

Peter Halász and Robert Bódizs has taken the lead in studies of non REM sleep regulation. They continues the noble tradition of Giuseppe Moruzzi and Horace Magoun, Dominic Purpura and Mircea Steriade and seeks, as they did, the neurophysiological rules governing the brain in its control of states of consciousness. For a variety of very sound reasons their work focuses on the initial, so-called non REM, phase of sleep. What is new and truly exciting about their work is their discovery that there are wheels with wheels in the generation even of this apparently monotonic state.
