Lab description
The main scientific objectives of the SLEEP team are
to characterize the two sleep states (slow wave and paradoxical / REM sleep) and to identify the neuronal networks generating and regulating them
to study the cortical and subcortical neuronal activity during both sleep states to determine their respective involvement in learning / memory consolidation and sensory integration
to identify the abnormal processes underlying two deleterious neurodegenerative sleep pathologies, narcolepsy (autoimmune) and REM sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD, a prodromic biomarker of alpha-synucleinopathies as Parkinson’s disease)
