Sleep architecture: Linking neurological & psychiatric disorders with sleep
In this online lecture, Associate Professor Laura Jacobson will address how sleep-wakefulness is measured and manipulated. She will provide a fascinating overview of the new “orexin receptor antagonist” class of sleep drugs, and the potential of sleep-wake manipulation to improve cognitive processes in a model of Alzheimer’s disease.
You will also learn how Laura’s team is manipulating sleep and arousal to improve neurological and psychiatric disorders that are characterised by disruptions in cognitive and emotional processes, such as Alzheimer’s disease and post-traumatic stress disorder.
