Abstract:
While the world reputation of Michel Jouvet in sleep research is based on his huge work on sleep and paradoxical sleep, especially in cats, a far less-known part of his activity was dedicated to investigate and take care of patients with neurological diseases. Indeed, he was also a physician, specialized in neurophysiology and working at the neurological hospital of Lyon. He was most interested first in patients with disorders of consciousness and secondly in those with sleep/wake disorders, and especially in modafinil for the treatment of patients with narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia.
