As the course description states in this seminar, one will broadly explore the neuroscience of sleep, including anatomy and physiology, human disease (parasomnias, narcolepsy, etc.), animal and computation models of human sleep, and neuroimaging. Behavioral and cognitive neuroscience of sleep will be emphasized. Students will learn to critically appraise scientific literature. With only 3 hours of work per week, don’t sleep on this course!
