Sleep, Associated functions, and Sleep Disorders
Please go to the WEB PAGE for more information about our current projects!
Sleep occupies one third of our life but we ignore largely its functions. Sleep not only regulates our vigilance but interacts with the whole physiology, including but not limited to neuroendocrine, metabolic, cardiovascular and neurocognitive systems. In our laboratory, we investigate the basic molecular and cellular mechanisms controlling sleep and associated functions. We are also interested in understanding the cause of several sleep disorders, including narcolepsy, parasomnias and sleep apnea.
