Course overview

This inaugural Cajal Course on Neurobiology of Sleep offers a comprehensive overview of current knowledge, and existing gaps, in sleep regulation and its functions, and the dynamics of brain activity during sleep across species. World-leading experts in the field will guide participants through the latest advancements.

The course features hands-on training across a variety of cutting-edge approaches, including:

• In vivo calcium imaging
• Large-scale molecular measures
• Human high-density EEG recording
• Wearable technologies for sleep monitoring
• Electrophysiological recordings
• Advanced analysis of big data
• Computational modelling
• Comparative approach with a diversity of animal models

By applying these diverse techniques to sleep research, participants will significantly advance their knowledge in sleep science and master a wide array of advanced tools and methodologies.

Bordeaux School of Neuroscience, France

The Bordeaux School of Neuroscience is part of Bordeaux Neurocampus, the Neuroscience Department of the University of Bordeaux. Christophe Mulle, its current director, founded it in 2015. Throughout the year, renowned scientists, promising young researchers and many students from any geographical horizon come to the School.
The school works on this principle: training in neuroscience research through experimental practice, within the framework of a real research laboratory.

Facilities
Their dedicated laboratory (500m2), available for about 20 trainees, is equipped with a wet lab, an in vitro and in vivo electrophysiology room, IT facilities, a standard cellular imaging room, an animal facility equipped for behavior studies and surgery and catering/meeting spaces. They also have access to high-level core facilities within the University of Bordeaux. They offer their services to international training teams who wish to organize courses in all fields of neuroscience thanks to a dedicated staff for the full logistics (travels, accommodation, on-site catering, social events) and administration and 2 scientific managers in support of the experimentation.
