Exploring Sleep’s Many Roles in Learning and Memory
Join us for "Exploring Sleep’s Many Roles in Learning and Memory" webcast
http://www.softconference.com/WebcastSystem/webcast.aspx?WebcastID=67&sessionID=408075
Session Description:
As we struggle to manage our busy lives, often many of us sacrifice sleep. In fact, one in three Americans does not sleep the recommended seven to nine hours per night. Sleep is intimately connected to our brain’s ability to store memories, so how does our sleep — or the lack thereof — affect this process? Scientists will discuss the effects of sleep on regulation of gene expression, waste accumulation in our brain cells, and our ability to process and prioritize memories. In addition, researchers have discovered three closely related spider species with extraordinarily fast-running biological clocks.
