AFC Lab & CARLA Talk Series
Duration
70 minutes
The human brain is a heavily interconnected structure giving rise to complex functions. While brain functionality is mostly revealed during wakefulness, the sleeping brain might offer another view into physiological and pathological brain connectivity. Furthermore, there is a large body of evidence supporting that sleep mediates plastic changes in brain connectivity. Although brain plasticity depends on environmental input which is provided in the waking state, disconnection during sleep might be necessary for integrating new into existing information and at the same time restoring brain efficiency. In this talk, I will present structural, molecular, and electrophysiological markers of brain connectivity and sleep-dependent restoration that we have evaluated using Magnetic Resonance Imaging and electroencephalography in a healthy population. In a second step, I will show how we translated the gained findings into two clinical populations in which alterations in brain connectivity have been described, the neuropsychiatric disorder attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and the neurologic disorder thalamic ischemic stroke.
