The Sleep Debt Epidemic: Memory Problems and Sex-Specific Effects
14 November 2023
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM EST
Session Description
Chronic insufficient sleep is a hallmark of modern society with some estimates suggesting 70% of U.S. teenagers are not getting enough sleep. Neuroscientists will discuss research revealing how sleep disruption, while more prevalent in women, may be more deleterious for men. Researchers will also share how sleep-deprived mice and the social communication techniques of cuttlefish led to valuable new understandings of memory integration during sleep.
