Lecture Title: "Why Do We Sleep: the Molecular Genetics of Sleep Homeostasis"
Abstract: Why we sleep remains one of the most enduring mysteries in science. Sleep is homeostatically regulated where the duration of wakefulness drives subsequent sleep. Here we aim to determine how waking experience is sensed to trigger sleep and how sleep restores the brain? How the circadian clock interacts with sleep homeostasis? How impaired sleep leads to human diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease?
