Course description
The Sleep & Circadian Neuroscience Institute (SCNi), within The Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences (NDCN) offers an online programme in Sleep Medicine and in conjunction with this programme it is pleased to present standalone modules for those wishing to study only one or two aspects of the programme to facilitate professional practice. Modules will be available when they are running for the main programme and you will join the rest of the group at this time.
Programme details
This module will run for approx 9 academic weeks w/c Monday September 26th 2022. It is expected that after completion of this module students will have:
- gained an understanding of sleep as a complex, strictly regulated process, ubiquitous across ontogeny and phylogeny
- developed knowledge of basic neurophysiologic and genetic underpinnings of sleep
- insights into methodologies used for classifying sleep states, and investigating sleep in animals, human subjects and patients
- an understanding of leading theories on sleep regulation and function
- have developed an understanding of the link between sleep and bodily functions, including immune system, thermoregulation and metabolism
