Timing is everything: The neurobehavioral costs of disrupted sleep and circadian rhythms

Open guest lecture arranged during summer school in Circadian Rhythms and Sleep.

Main content

Associate Professor Ilia Karatsoreos, Department of Integrative Physiology and Neuroscience, Washington State University, US employs the circadian and stress systems as models to probe how physiological dysregulation leads to long-term negative health consequences. His use of transgenic mouse models, behavioral and metabolic assays, and sleep electrophysiology, along with analyses of neural structure/function through gene expression, confocal microscopy, and 3-D cellular reconstructions are the basis to understand 1) how do normal circadian rhythms and sleep promote health, 2) how do disrupted rhythms increase vulnerability and 3) how does disruption of the brain-body stress axis alter long-term vulnerability and resilience. Dr. Karatsoreos was recently awarded a NSF CAREER grant.

We would like to invite all colleagues and students to five open guest lectures arranged during a summer school in Circadian Rhythms and Sleep.

 

The guest lectures are arranged by the Norwegian Research School in Neuroscience (NRSN), the International Graduate School in Integrated Neuroscience (IGSIN) and Bergen Stress and Sleep Group (BSSG), University of Bergen.
