Cardiovascular and Respiratory Activity During Sleep Onset

睡眠开始时的心血管和呼吸活动。要想入睡，就需要改变行为和生理活动。这是通过睡眠机制和昼夜节律系统的综合活动实现的。在这个项目中，我们将调查睡眠机制在睡眠开始时对呼吸和心血管活动施加的调节控制的性质，睡眠控制如何与昼夜影响相互作用，以及当睡眠控制从睡眠中唤醒时心肺活动的性质。预计更好地理解睡眠对其他系统的调节控制将提高我们对睡眠障碍的理解。

Cardiovascular and Respiratory Activity During Sleep Onset. Going to sleep requires that behavioural and physiological activities be modified. This is achieved by the integrated activity of sleep mechanisms and the circadian system. In this project we will investigate the nature of the regulatory control exerted by sleep mechanisms over respiration and cardiovascular activity at sleep onset, how sleep control interacts with circadian influence, and the nature of cardio-respiratory activity when sleep control is removed at an arousal from sleep. It is anticipated that a better understanding of the regulatory control exerted by sleep over other systems will improve our understanding of sleep disorders.
