Development of clinical somnology (Contibution of I.G. Karmanova)

Based on her studies of sleep disorders in patients with cataleptic schizophrenia syndrome, narcolepsy and Gille de la Tourette disease, I.G. Karmanova proposed an evolutionary-dissolution approach to sleep analysis. It helps not only identify the type of sleep–wake cycle abnormalities, but also analyze pathogenetic mechanisms of CNS disorders.
