Craig H. Heller – Secrets of Sleep Science
Description
Sleep is the subject of intense scientific debate among biologists and neuroscientists. Why should we spend about a third of our lives sleeping? What is a dream? Why does lack of sleep impair our cognitive abilities and make us vulnerable to a host of medical problems, ranging from obesity to reduced resistance to infectious diseases?
These 24 fascinating lectures will take you to the forefront of this field to show what is happening in the sleeping brain down to the cellular and molecular level. You will explore what biological changes occur during wakefulness that change during sleep, and why your brain forces you to fall asleep to compensate for the accumulated sleep deficit, no matter how dangerous the circumstances.
The science of sleep includes the Basic concepts of electricity, neuroanatomy, and neurochemistry, which are responsible for the”architecture of sleep”. Professor Heller explains the science behind our circadian rhythms, fast and non-fast sleep, dream physiology, and more.
Pathologies and sleep disorders are one of the most exciting topics of the course. From disorders such as sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and restless leg syndrome to parasomnia such as sleepwalking and nightmares, the latest discoveries in sleep science are truly exciting.
