OVERVIEW

How do we stay awake in a normal circadian rhythm? How do we sleep? What happens when these circuits go wrong in hypersomnolence disorders? How can we bring patients back into normal patterns of wakefulness? The experts will unravel these brain circuits to explore the connections between orexin peptides and the struggles faced by individuals with hypersomnolence disorders.
