The Science of Sleep: Melatonin to Neural Pathways
Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 29 Ιουν 2016
Russell
Foster, Debra Skene and Stafford Lightman discuss the science of sleep.
Why do we need sleep and what are the physiological processes driving
our circadian rhythm? When is our circadian clock disrupted and how does
this affect our health? Cognitive neuroscientist Vincent Walsh chairs
the debate.

The
science behind sleeplessness can help us understand our rhythms so we
can live better and healthier lives. While hormones, such a melatonin,
play a role in driving our circadian clock, the amount of sleep we get
and our sleep cycles also affect our hormonal release patterns, with
far-reaching implications on our health.
Cognitive neuroscientist
Vincent Walsh chairs a discussion with a panel of experts who specialise
in circadian rhythms. They explore how light detection plays a role in
our sleep-wake cycles, how hormone release is regulated and the
implications of changes to our circadian clock and sleeplessness over
time.
This event was supported by British Psychological Society and Society for Endocrinology.
