Sleep and Circadian Clock

Date:

Friday, 7th February 2025, 1:30 PM – 4:00 PM

In mammals, the sleep-wake cycle is regulated by the circadian clock located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and an independent oscillator(s) that internally desynchronizes from the circadian clock.

At the end of this workshop, the participant will be able to

Understand the functional relation between the circadian clock and the sleep-wake cycle
Realize the circadian misalignment caused by Jet lag, shift works and some type of sleep disorders
Learn the use of various techniques in such studies
Know how to measure the circadian rhythms in humans

Venue: AIIMS, New Delhi (Entry from Gate No. 1)
