title: [Sleep disorders and depression].
abstract: The concept whether sleep alterations are neurobiologically fundamental in the pathogenesis of depression is a main issue of two research directions. Firstly, clinical studies investigate if EEG-correlates provide a useful and valid indicator of depression, secondly development of sleep regulation models in experimental sleep research made it possible to further explore the relationship between sleep and affective illness.
