A series of findings over the past decade has begun to identify the brain circuitry and neurotransmitters that regulate our daily cycles of sleep and wakefulness. The latter depends on a network of cell groups that activate the thalamus and the cerebral cortex. A key switch in the hypothalamus shuts off this arousal system during sleep. Other hypothalamic neurons stabilize the switch, and their absence results in inappropriate switching of behavioural states, such as occurs in narcolepsy. These… CONTINUE READING

Observational Patient Registry Clinical Trial
This study evaluates the quality of sleep of patients admitted to medical and intensive care
units. All of them will have a clock placed to measure their circadian activity. Also, data… Expand

Interventional Clinical Trial
The aim of this study is to investigate the role of the circadian system in patients with
neurologic sleep-wake disorders. Therefore, overnight sleep will be distributed over 30 hours… Expand
