Abstract: The group of researchers at the Wisconsin Institute for Sleep and Consciousness at UW-Madison is arguably one of the best in the world, and some truly ground-breaking work on the function of sleep has been generated here. This talk will highlight much of this work and will focus, in particular, on the brain’s remarkable capacity for sleeping (and waking) at the same time, and the implications this has for brain health, development and disease.
