The circadian clock is a complex cellular mechanism that controls numerous key physiological processes and maintains cellular, tissue, and systemic homeostasis. Disruption of the clock system influences the immune response and brain functions. Immune activation is closely linked with inflammation, neurodegeneration, aging, and other peripheral and central nervous system-related abnormalities. There is increasing evidence that cellular inflammation affects sleep and circadian rhythms and vice-versa. This book offers a structured overview that focuses on the multi-angle interaction of circadian rhythms, sleep, and inflammatory response in normal or pathological conditions.

Dr. Hanan Bouaouda is a veterinary doctor (DVM). She completed her PhD in Neuroscience at the University of Strasbourg, France, and Hassan II Institute of Agronomy and Veterinary Medicine, Rabat, Morocco. After her PhD, she worked on a variety of themes of sleep and circuitries at the International Institute for Integrative Sleep Medicine, University of Tsukuba, Tsukuba, Japan, and Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA. She is currently working on brain thermoregulatory circuits and their implications in metabolic abnormalities at Heidelberg University, Heidelberg, Germany.
