Abstract
... We spend almost one third of our life time just to sleep. Sleep/wakefulness cycle is a very intriguing physiological phenomenon. We fall asleep at least once per day. After sleeping for a while, we can wake up naturally. However, the mechanism regulating sleep/wakefulness cycle has not been complete ...

Molecular neuroscience
Molecular neuroscience is a branch of neuroscience that observes concepts in molecular biology applied to the nervous systems of animals. The scope of this subject primarily pertains to a reductionist view of neuroscience, considering topics such as molecular neuroanatomy, mechanisms of molecular signaling in the nervous system, the effects of genetics on neuronal development, and the molecular basis for neuroplasticity and neurodegenerative diseases. As with molecular biology, molecular neuroscience is a relatively new field that is considerably dynamic.
