The workshop will focus on the dissection of the mechanisms underlying sleep phenotypes. In particular, the development of relevant animal models for human basic and clinical studies will be discussed as the basis for developing translational research.
The major aim of the workshop is to revitalise the interactions between animal and human researchers and will achieve this by bringing together experts in a wide array of state-of-the-art techniques. Specific priority areas, as well as new collaborative research projects, will be discussed.
