This volume provides an introduction to the interface between Serotonin and
Sleep: Molecular, Functional, and Clinical aspects. An enterprise of this sort is
bound to be contentious and challenging, and editors who attempt such things
need all the help they can get. Several people were instrumental in the production
of this new volume of Serotonin and Sleep: Molecular, Functional, and
Clinical aspects. It is our pleasure to acknowledge some of these here.
First and foremost, we are grateful for the many helpful comments, concepts
and ideas developed over the years from colleagues and students of myself
and others who have made this volume possible. We hope they will continue to
share their knowledge, wisdom and vision for change with us, either directly or
through our publishers. We must acknowledge our debt to our predecessors in
the field, most notably, the works of M. Jouvet, William Dement, J. Allan Hobson,
G.K. Aghajanian, and J.C. Gillin (the list is not exclusive), on serotonin.
We would like to express our sincere appreciation and owe endless gratitude
to all the contributors for their scholarly contribution that facilitated the development
of this volume.
