Le sommeil et le rêve af Michel Jouvet
> LE SOMMEIL ET LE RÊVE, de Michel Jouvet. — Cet ouvrage, paru en 1992, résume toutes les recherches de Michel Jouvet, mais il ne fait que reprendre des articles parus ici et là ; on y retrouve donc toutes les grandes questions rencontrées dans l’histoire des neurosciences, et les réponses que leur ont données les chercheurs français : depuis l'Histoire naturelle du rêve et Le sommeil paradoxal est-il le témoin neurobiologique de l’activité onirique ? jusqu’à la fonction possible du sommeil paradoxal comme gardien de l'individuation psychologique. La conclusion, fort désenchantée, nous montre qu’au moins la recherche scientifique peut enseigner la lucidité et la prudence, si elle est pratiquée avec honnêteté. Ed. Odile Jacob, 1992

The paradox of sleep : the story of dreaming af Michel Jouvet
This is another library book that I did not delve into it until the last moment, Despite being pbulished over 20 years ago, I can see I need to explore it further, and find out more about paradoxical sleep and oneiric behavior, as well as Jouvet's observations of sleeping cats.
